About My Classroom

Educational equity works towards valuing what every learner brings to the classroom, including their backgrounds, beliefs, educational experiences, intelligences, expectations, perceptions, identities, biases, and learning styles. Equitable education requires teachers to evaluate their curriculums and to uncover the hidden curriculums embedded in their classroom content. The pedagogy of an equitable classroom focuses on critical thinking and attends to sociopolitical relationships. Learning that is centered around students and assessments that are authentic create the most empowerment and equality for all learners.
