As a student in the Faculty Education I also notice there are fewer males in my program. As I got to high school I noticed more of my teachers were male, rather than female. This may be because there are stereotypes surrounding females being more nurturing with children or better when handling situations with younger audiences. ]]> 2022-01-19 15:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/davidmilliken317/Bookmarks/wish/2000677194 davidmilliken317 https://padlet.com/davidmilliken317/Bookmarks/wish/2000682199 When on placement, as well as how I interact with people in everyday life, I have made an effort to incorporate gender-inclusive language. For example, "hey folks or hi friends" rather than saying "hey guys or hey girls", as this draws students away from a particular gender. In addition, at many points in our educational journey we may experience faculty or students whom we do not know their gender identity, and are assuming, so it is best to implement neutral gender language into the classroom. ]]> 2022-01-19 15:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/davidmilliken317/Bookmarks/wish/2000682199 https://padlet.com/davidmilliken317/Bookmarks/wish/2009847715 Trying to find more gender friendly resources can be hard but I want to find more!

This was helpful since there were non-binary students in some classrooms who were excited to learn it for the first time.]]> 2022-01-24 21:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/davidmilliken317/Bookmarks/wish/2009849881 https://padlet.com/davidmilliken317/Bookmarks/wish/2009849907 Growing up I never experienced a discussion with my teachers about gender identity or sexuality. Yet, when I got to my prac my host teacher had a big classroom discussion about gender roles, gender fluidity etc. The students felt so heard during the discussion and asked plenty of questions that were so respectful and insightful. It truly was a great discussion to experience and definitely one I would love to have with my future students.]]> 2022-01-24 21:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/davidmilliken317/Bookmarks/wish/2009849907 https://padlet.com/davidmilliken317/Bookmarks/wish/2009850759 Encouraging everyone regardless of gender to get involved in science disciplines and encouraging science projects, science-based toys, and STEM altogether to ALL students from a young age instead of assuming interests based on gender.]]> 2022-01-24 21:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/davidmilliken317/Bookmarks/wish/2009850759
