Darian's Diary

       The lengths I would be willing to go through in order to do right by every single student is drastic and lengthy just like every teacher should. I think it is important to fight for what you believe in, and students should be a priority we as teachers fight for. For example, in this week's module we learn about all the prejudice and discrimination students face in school. In Texas Governor Greg Abbott passed a law to make it legal for teachers to essentially ban transgender students from certain spaces and activities. This kind of prejudice is something that teachers should see and chose not to participate in. While this would be considered illegal it is not something that should be rightfully followed because of the hurt it produces.                Decades ago discrimination and prejudice against students was vary vast as we all know, especially when it came to segregating black people from white people in shared p...

 It is certainly not a surprise at least to me that like other professions gender effects the teaching profession. For example, the teaching profession is typically and predominantly filled with women, and this is the case because laws were put into place, years ago discriminated women against many work places and jobs.

As a ...

  First off, I would like to start off by saying I really enjoy this class so far and it has opened my eyes to the importance of how you not only instruct your students but how to be a supportive figure in their lives and allow them to reach their full potential. Module 5 had the greatest impact on me as an educator because it allowed me to see that teachers are not just educators but figures who will guide the incoming generations to their upmost abilities. In the article from this module, "Facing History and Ourselves" it explains how conversation can greatly benefit a student by not only improving their knowledge and understanding of each other but as well as student's wellbeing. The website was created to suggest new methods, strategies, and thought processes in the classroom, for example it says, "Engaging in civil discourse means bringing your mind, heart, and conscience to reflective conversations on topics that matter, in ways that allow you to extend your un...
