My Teaching Philosophy
In my classroom, we will be reading and writing, speaking and listening. We are going to practice communicating ideas, receiving ideas, and then interweaving them together. Language is a conduit for connection, which is necessary for the continuation and health of a society.
My pedagogical practice and approach to content is centered around anti-racism. To me that looks like accuracy in words, descriptions, renditions of history and current events. It is creating consciousness about the intentionality of systems of oppression and how we live and operate in them. It is refusing to participate in inequitable and punitive structures. It is healing and restorative approaches to interpersonal and intergenerational conflict. It is taking a holistic view of my students and accepting their whole selves. It is voice rather than silence. It is continual education in ethnic studies and learning about and from my students. Lastly, it is providing space for joy in the complex world we live in.
​
Through equitable curriculum that centers the non-dominant narratives of history, the classroom can introduce students to all the ways humans have been, are, and can be. I believe that the classroom is a radical space of personal and social transformation; a space for justice work to catalyze.
