But now I feel really excited about how we all had something to say and that we're working to challenge how we see and think about the students we are teaching. I feel that personally I still have a ways to go in terms of taking what I have learned and applying it to how I teach and work with my students. https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436255 2017-04-03 18:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436255 https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436294 I still have concerns about how to approach race in the classroom, but look forward to continuing to learn]]> 2017-04-03 18:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436294 I feel that as a member of a dominant group that it is especially important for me to teach in a culturally relevant way. You don't need to be a member of a minority group to discuss privilege and power structures https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436326 2017-04-03 18:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436326 https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436373 I felt conflicted]]> 2017-04-03 18:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436373 https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436440 I have concerns about how to bring up topics such as those discussed in the readings. I like the theories and stories presented in the readings, but I think it will take a lot of work to put them into practice. I think the work needed to do this is worth it.  ]]> 2017-04-03 18:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436440 I realized how important my job as a language teacher actually is. https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436526 2017-04-03 18:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436526 https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436605 Whether or not you perceive yourself as a "racist", you still very likely contribute to racism because you were socialized in a racist context.  It's not about proving you're not a "racist", its about rewiring your thoughts and making a conscious effort to combat your own and others' racist attitudes.  Unless you are making an actual effort, you're probably contributing to the problem.

]]> 2017-04-03 18:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436892 I feel insecure about discussing "touchy" topics such as race, because I have the best intentions but I fear I will ask the wrong questions or say the wrong thing. https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436959 2017-04-03 18:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164436959 https://padlet.com/amoore48/vy86crqdv6xo/wish/164437207 It made me nervous because I am more aware of my position in society and of how that forces me to be more empathetic
