I loved this thoughtful and reflective post that connects the ways all of us are shaped by our past, but also challenged to make sense of the pervasive narrow assumptions ingrained and perpetuated through our lived experience. This seems wrong to suggest, but I like that sense of confusion and disorientation. That’s the good stuff. It pushes us to consider the ways in which our reflections that helped us to overcome our own assumptions provides tools and ideas for how to foster environments for students to to confront (or at least encounter) similar assumptions based on their own lived experiences.
