Assumptions & Privilege:
The assumptions we and our students make in a learning community can exacerbate discrepancies in privilege.
Equality vs. Equity:
- With equality, we assume everyone is the same and have the same needs
- With equity, we want everyone to be treated fairly depending on needs
- With liberation, the cause of the inequity was addressed and systemic barriers were removed
Awareness:
Awareness is key to mitigating the impact of our unconscious assumptions with intentional actions in the classroom
Active Learning and Inclusive Teaching Strategies:
