Women
Conceptualizing Culture: How Preservice Teachers In The Rual Midwest Confront Subjectivities. Karabon and Johnson.
The document focuses on gender representation for teacher which is mainly women. This just made me laugh because I had a male elementary teacher for four years. But with that being said I put this in the women category because this document talks all about me. It's how young, white women interacted and took an understanding to students who didn't grow up like them and have way different cultures and that's something I will have to learn. I don't think it will be an extreme culture shock for me. My high school was very diverse, so I made friends with people who had a lot of different cultures. My boyfriend is Mexican so his family and him teacher me about their culture to. Other cultures I honestly don't know anything about but I'm excited to learn
ASL Is Just The Beginning: A Plea For Multicultural Deaf Education. English.
Even though this document doesn't explicitly talk about women it indirectly talks about women by talking about breaking down gender and social roles. I am a big fan of breaking down things that are wrong, so I got happy to read about how she wants to break down gender roles. I believe that we are still divided as genders. We still have a pay cut for women and have people believing in stereotypes still today. I would love to be a part of something like breaking down gender roles because they shouldn't really exist. I know physically women arn't as strong as men but that doesn't mean they need a pay cut or anything like that. Reading this document made me feel a tiny bit inspired to keep fighting for gender equality.
Preparing Ideologically Clear Bilingual Teachers. Honoring Working-Class Non-Standard Language Use in the Bilingual Education Classroom. Alfaro.
This document put in examples of how people's experiences are shaped by their race, gender, class. She acknowledges the struggles women have to go through in teaching. I put it in my women category because it just reminded me of how much women have to fight and really work to get what they want. Women are always fighting even in a profession dominated by women. Whenever I read about how women still have struggle to this day even with how much we have worked on it, it just annoys me that it’s not enough. It’s not hard to treat everyone equally.

Memory and Enshrining Writing: Rethinking the Ethnocentrism Embedded in Written vs. Oral Traditions. Eklund.
This document is all about oral traditions. Passing ways of life down by stories and language. When I read this document, it made me smile because the whole time, I was thinking about how white people don't really do this. But I thought a little bit more on it and I'm wrong. Even though it's not anything extreme or even a process like some traditions white people still have stories to tell. This document made me realize that white people do have oral traditions. I would say lullabies are oral traditions that white people pass down. I know it's not just white people who have lullabies, but I know that it's a part of our culture.
Foggy Mirrors, Tiny Window, and Heavy Doors: Beyond Diverse Books Toward Meaningful Literacy Instruction. Enriquez.
This document I put in the white category because it talks a lot about how we need to have diverse books. giving my honest opinion it's an amazing idea that should be put into action. At the same time, I found it kind of annoying. Instead of talking about how there should be books with deep dives into each culture and diversity they discuss how there shouldn't be a white dominate protagonist in books anymore. It's annoying to me because their books are most likely not going to have a deep dive of white people, and they are putting white people down a tiny bit I feel. There is nothing wrong with a race or ethnicity being dominate in something. For example, African Americans are dominate in rap music. Noone says anything bad about it or anything. maybe I'm not understanding correctly but I feel we should stop focusing on race or stop holding white people to a different standard.
Teaching Refugee Students in Arizona: Examining the Implementation of Structured English Immersion. Henderson.
This document talks about privilege and more specifically white people privilege. This reminded me of a conversation I was having with my boyfriend. we were talking about how some school systems are to focus on not offending other races that they offend white people in the process. Everyone always is upset because of privilege, and I agree that shouldn't be a thing but stop trying to be so very woke to the point you do the same but to another race. Culture should have nothing to do with school it's a place to learn about math and science not culture. Culture is for something literally anywhere else. You can dress and be proud of your culture but we shouldn't be worried as teachers about culture cause our job is to give basic education so kids can go into the world prepared.
Daughter
Agency, Identity, Power: An Agentive Triad Model for Teacher Action. Sherman.
This document focuses on identity. It focuses on 2 other things, but we won't be focusing on those. This article is based on what makes you, you. I had to think about it but I being a daughter has such a special place in my heart. It was the first thing I thought of when the article started talking about identity. Our parents really shape us into who we are and because of my father I'm the way I am. I am very happy with myself and because he raised me in such a kind and loving way. I love being my father's daughter. It's such an honor to be and something I take very important. Because of this I always try to be the best I can. Being a daughter is something that makes me happy.
Moving Away from the 4-Hour Block: Arizona's Distinctive Path to Reversing Its Restrictive Language Policies. Kaveh.
I put this in the daughter category because the paper said something about parental involvement, and it made me think of how involved my father was when I was little. My mother at the time had my brother and I during the week and my father had us on weekends. When she was taking me to school and taking care of me she never thought it was important and let me fail. She never made me do my homework or even go to school. In return I started to think school wasn’t important and a waste of my time. When my dad got full custody he was the complete opposite. He cared about my homework even sat with me at the kitchen table and worked on it with me for hours and he still would if I didn’t move out. All of highschool he helped me the best he could. The way your parent views something really changes the way a kid will view something because when my dad made it a big deal I realize how much fun I had in school and now important it really was.
Anti-Government
[Pitfalls and possibilities of social justice ally development models: lessons from borderland theories for building solidarity across differences. Douthirt-Cohen.
This document is all about fighting social justice ally development. This reminded me of when I was in U.S. world history class learning about the 60's and 70's. This time everyone was protesting the war and government. This document remined me of it because it's all about fighting for what you believe and challenging authority which is what the 60s and 70s are all about. As someone who doesn't really agree with the government in any way I really respect and honor what this document is fighting for and what every person fighting for justice from the government.
Serving Native American Children and Families:
Considering Cultural Variables. Zanartu.
The document doesn’t say anything about being antigovernment, but it brought up failures in our system that affects diverse culture which reminded me of antigovernment. This whole document is about fighting for what they think is right about how to go about culture. When I was back home, I liked going to protest. One of the protests I went to was about how culture is being washed away by social norms, and they were fighting to keep their culture alive. It was a very small and peaceful protest, but this article reminded me of the protest because a lot of people there had a lot of the same viewpoints this author has. I love going to protest because you can learn so much. Is it all one basic belief when you go? Yes. But as long as you stay educated and check on the information protesters give you can get really good information.
Girlfriend
Other People’s English Accents Matter: Challenging Standard English Accent Hegemony. Orelus.
There was a certain in their article that reminded me of something my boyfriend’s family and I go through. My boyfriend is Mexican, and his grandparent migrated here from Mexico. His grandfather and grandmother don’t know English and I don’t know Spanish. His mom knows Spanish because it’s her first language but she also is fluent in English. But her accent is really thick so sometimes when I talk to her I have to ask her a few times to repeat what she said. I loved talking to her because I always enjoyed the conversation we would have but It always made me neverous to talk to her because I was so worried about offending her. Because of this I slowly started to distance myself from his mom. She asked me why I stopped talking to her as much and from then on i stopped distancing myself. It wasn’t fair to her and she never gets upset is she has to repeat herself a few times and she even started to teach me Spanish.
Ukrainian
Exoticism of the other: (Mis)representations of culture in English textbooks in Korea. Lee.
My grandfather migrated here from a work labor camp in the Ukraine. He came here legally and went to college and became a rocket scientist. When he came here, he said it was very different that anything he had been told. it was a complete culture shock. This culture shock was caused by stereotypes of Americans at the time. There was a lot of propaganda going around at the time so all the information he got was based off of that. The books filled with stereotypes in Korea just reminded me of my grandfather's story. My family is a big part of my identity and their stories I cherish and want to share when possible.
Silence as weapons: transformative praxis among native American student in the urban southwest. Pedro.
There is a lot of stereotypes for every culture and race. For example, a stereotype of Ukrainian people is that they love eating Salo. This is just a stereotype and doesn't really have any truth behind it. I could even put this on the white category and say that there are stereotypes about white people not being able to deal with spice. Everything has a stereotype, and some are harmful, and some aren't. There is a stereotype that Ukrainian people are greedy which also isn't true. When I tell people I'm Ukrainian and by people I think this has happened 3 times to me they usually make some kind of joke about being greedy. I don't take them personal but its rude to joke about and I was annoyed each time someone made a joke. This document focuses on cultural knowledge. It's all about making sure there aren't stereotypes because you will be educated on the topic, and I really like that.
Immigration And Education: What Should k-12 Teachers, School Administrators And Staff Know. Rubinstein-Avila.
This article is about immigration and even though I didn't migrate to the U.S. like my grandpa he told me a lot of stories. When reading the article, it made me think of a bunch of things he said about the prosses and how hard it was. He died when I was in middle school and so having those memories made me really happy, but it made me miss him at the same time.
Nested Contexts Of Reception And k-12 Schools: Addressing Immigration Status. Murillo.
My grandfather came to the U.S. legally, so he never had to deal with the problems of being undocumented and trying to go to school. My grandpa loved school and I can't even imagine how hard it is to get an education without being a legal citizen.
Bisexual
Caught Between Silence and Safe Spaces: Examining Learning and Communication Practices in the Midst of Sociocultural Tensions in the University Classroom. Hernandez.
Even though these documents don't explicitly say anything about the LGBTQ+ it does imply it. I know with how young the students I want to teach are this will most likely not be a problem. But I want an inclusive classroom where everyone feels welcome. I myself am bisexual so this won't be hard for me to accomplish. I'm not even going to talk about my sexuality because they are kids and that's a little inappropriate in a classroom but if a kid ever has questions or anything like that, I want all of my students to know that I am there to support and inform them.
Multicultural Education as a framework for educating English language learners in the United States. Parker.
This reminded me about my sexuality because this document was all about inclusivity. A very big word in the LGBTQ+ is inclusivity. So, every time someone says it it's my first thought. The document focuses on respecting diverse opinions, beliefs, culture, and so much more. With that being said the document doesn't directly talk about the LGBTQ+. I put this article in this category because of inclusivity and how close that ties to the LGBTQ+ community or my community.
Atheist
Healing Systemic fragmentation in education through multicultural education. Saathoff.
This document focuses on the bias in a classroom and wants to shift that to an inclusive education system. This remined me of my religion or lack thereof because when I was in elementary mostly everyone was either Christan or Catholic. This always made me the odd ball out. My family is religious but not enough to follow anything. They like to believe that there is an afterlife but only so they can hopefully see their dead family member they miss like my father's dad or my stepmother's dad. Because of this religion was never pushed onto me. I am a firm believer that religion isn't real because its manmade. Someone made up those stories and people choose to believe them if they want. Because I didn't believe in anything at a young age the kids treated me different, or I couldn't really talk about religion with them when they did. I never want my students to feel that way and I want to make sure it's an inclusive classroom so each religion will be respected but not talked about unless explicitly asked.
Teacher Report of Students’ Dialect Use and Language Ability. Hendricks.
This paper briefly talks about how talking about personal beliefs like religion can influence the way people see the education system. It’s a firm belief of mine that unless specifically asked you don’t talk about religion. Everyone believes in something even if that something is nothing. Most kids believe what their parents believe. I babysit a lot of kiddos before I moved to flagstaff and if they were asked or ever talk about religion their view were their parents. They are too young to be worrying about religion and are too young to care. Religion must be respected especially in a classroom but because most don’t respect other religions it gets taken from classrooms for kids who are older. But for you I think talking about religion in a classroom full of 6-year-olds is inappropriate and something I won’t be participating in.
