I find many of the students at my school are skeptical of the relevance of my lessons to their day to day realities, and it takes much effort to gain their trust. https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021634212 2022-01-31 16:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021634212 kraymond31 https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021637926 My positionality as a daughter of immigrants, makes me more compassionate for students with a similar background. I try to ensure that my teaching is culturally responsive and that these students understand what I am asking of them. ]]> 2022-01-31 16:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021637926 Positionality and teaching https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021639448 I think my positionality of being from a rural area and growing up in really robust music program that offered countless opportunities influences my teaching because I see the sometimes extremely limited opportunities and equity issues that our children in NYC can have based on something like the neighborhood they live in, something out of the control. This makes our job of widening the canon and allowing for students to achieve as many opportunities as possible that much more important.]]> 2022-01-31 16:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021639448 https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021641380 My positionality as an immigrant helps me appreciate different cultures and values. Making myself vulnerable by sharing my own identity (cultural and musical) helps students hold honest conversations with each other.]]> 2022-01-31 16:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021641380 Complicated! alee512 https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021646321 So many things influence who I am as a teacher. My positionality as a former performer, having experienced so many pieces of music that have brought me joy that I want to share with my students. My positionality as a Latina woman, who's felt under-represented musically in many serious music discussions, so coming from a desire to find other musical voices that are often under-represented. ]]> 2022-01-31 16:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021646321 https://padlet.com/eguglielmo/v2tatd8g1g77s69v/wish/2021667569 I'm a US born Chinese-American who had the opportunity to spend my childhood growing and learning in Asia. I experienced what it's like to be an ESL/ENL learner, and to empathize with the struggles some of my ENL students are experiencing cultural shock, new language, culture, and academically...

I have the privilege to use music as a way to express myself, to enjoy, escape... and hoping to use the vehicle to connect my students in all levels and backgrounds of learning and help them to express themselves.

My faith as a Christian guides and supports me in building up myself and hopefully to empower my students to express their individuality and self-worth.
