ITL 604:Week 1: Cultural Basket














Comments

  1. Reflection:

    The introspection of teacher training is reflective of the values that educators have surrounding the philosophy of why we educate young people. Over these past four weeks, I have thought about the ideas of exceptionalities and non-mainstream educational needs that have been presented by people who are close to me. In the case of my grandmother, she went to Kindergarten as an English learner, and in the 1930s, her first name was changed by her teacher to an Americanized version. That designation was something that haunted her into her adulthood. My son Owen faced issues related to exceptionalities connected to giftedness. Ultimately the issue is that educational institutions are built around serving masses and mainstream students, and outliers complicate the procedural and standardized construct of education. These ideas make compel me to argue for educational systems to be as inclusive as possible and provide all students the equal access to education that will give them the opportunities to become the humans they seek to be.
