This is the narrative they knew of the world and therefore without broadening horizons, it could become the only story they tell. The question is, is this ok? ]]> 2020-11-18 19:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938468826 https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938472357 Sharing a single story stops other voices from being heard.

Sometimes we make constructs and assumptions based on the stories we hear about how teachers should be (ex. stereotype that male teachers teach secondary/intermediate grades; female teachers teach younger grades).

Understanding that our students come from different backgrounds and that each have their own stories, different from ourselves (ex. things happening at home that are affecting students' learning and motivation in the classroom).]]> 2020-11-18 19:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938472357 https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938476904 Personal Story:
A lot of pressure was placed around attending school without any regard of how I was feeling. Since I didn't want to be there, I didn't end up doing well. My parents' single story put a lot of pressure on me and it excluded my perceptions. 
This story effects my teaching as I hope to have a student-entered theory. I want to hear my student's voice rather than pushing an agenda on them. ]]> 2020-11-18 19:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938476904 https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938480857 Single stories affect how you teach because it doesn't allow room for other perspectives. It also doesn't allow the students to form their own opinions.
It affects the curriculum with direct implications because the way educators view curriculum is often based off of their own perspectives, which could be a single story.
Single stories also affect all aspects of the classroom including the environment, as well as individual students because they are personal to the educator and could have varying degrees of influence depending on the awareness of the educator of their own single story

- This can lead you become judgmental.

- Teacher expectancy effect,

-  Stereotype threat.

It can perpetuate dominant discourses and leave students feeling marginalized. It can influence the ways we choose to engage with the curriculum and what lessons we prioritize. ]]> 2020-11-18 19:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938491043 https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938494435 - a story in itself is neither good nor bad, but it's important to see how it fits with other perspectives within the same context. In this way, a single story can often be seen as problematic because it excludes other perspectives which would assist in providing a fuller account of the context/narrative.  
- there's no "right way" of teaching, nor can you classify a technique/lesson as just "good or bad" --> everything is context dependent, you need to consider the identities and needs of your students]]> 2020-11-18 19:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938494435 https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938504695 Gender conformity is a big issue for us.  We have both had challenges being put into boxes, and we have both experienced other children facing harassment or teasing for behaving in non-conformist ways.    This makes us acutely aware of these issues in our classroom and fuels our desire to teach children about avoiding gender stereotypes.]]> 2020-11-18 19:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938504695 https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938515599 A single story can affect the ways we teach as it may distract the learners from taking into consideration our own perspectives. For instance, our group discussed that our age and being younger made our students not take into the perspective that we are still teacher candidates and tend to not always take us as seriously as they do with their actual teacher. This makes it difficult to control the classroom and to take on the role of being the teacher. ]]> 2020-11-18 19:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gurleendhillon09/s5im4qwdfr28huaz/wish/938515599
