I felt connection to the message of "giving" student voice is Paternalism. I feel that sometimes this occurs at MHS with giving kids "options" but really we know what the leaders will choose

the wording "giving student's of color a voice" does seem off. it gives off the idea that these student's don't have a voice to begin with + like the article mentioned it echoes prev. historical patterns (slavery + colonialism)

I aspire to grow more in the idea of what I "perceive" to be student cultures and identities and truly learn their uniqueness. I started this with the "My America" assignment and unsure of how to continue to connect as I move forward with curriculum

to change the wording aka "using the voice that is already within you" or something more poetic, to continue to allow students to have say in their learning and what they want to be exposed to.

CRST and Student Voice in the Classroom need continuous Reflection from the teacher. It is even more powerful with another colleague.

I personally agree. My first white teachers wasn't until high school and there was a distinctive difference in treatment and class culture. It felt as though teachers were trying to "save us" when we didn't necessarily need saving, we just needed to be heard, seen, and valued as students.

It was interesting reading on the idea of students of color not having a voice and relating that back to history and the denial of voice from people of color

There is a lot in this article that I aspire to do more, but the one that jumped out the most is to incorporate perspectives of students, their identities, and their cultures in meaningful ways.

I agree that as teachers, we often forget that the classroom should be a space of collaboration with the understanding that students are agents of culture and history in the making, not a top down way of engagement. I also was reminded of Francisco de Vitoria's argument that slaves were like children who need a father figure to be educated and or to exist (and how education often puts children in a similar space).
