Are teachers ready to educated others about racism and discrimination issues?
As I go through my busy professional life I meet a lot of educators who are responsible for teaching adults or children on a daily basis, and lately I have been struggling with an issue that I am very passionate about, a question that I hope to be able to help answer in my future educational career. The question I have been thinking about is whether or not the majority of K-12 teachers and college professors are really prepared to educate their students to be culturally aware and sensitive; to educate them about racism and teach them anti discriminatory values.
By anti discriminatory values I mean teach young students about immigrants in a way that brings awareness to the fact that all of us have immigrated to this county at one point of our family three, except the 1st Americans- The Native Americans. Teach our students that racism is wrong by using our life as an example to the best of our abilities. Be able to have the same high expectations for all of the students who enter our classrooms through out the school year. Are we really prepared to introduce our diverse world to students in a way that would get them ready to be a productive member of society? Is it really up to us to establish the mentality of anti racism and anti discrimination or to build upon the values students enter our classrooms with?
As an educator and a person who is deeply passionate about diversity, anti discrimination and anti racism, I truly believe that yes we as teachers are the once responsible for modeling and helping our students become aware of issues such as fairness, equality, the power of our spoken language and communication with others. I know that such awareness begins at home but defiantly carries over to school and if we have our students for the majority of their day we are the once who share the responsibility with parents to educate their children and lead them towards becoming non hurtful members of society.
But are we really ready to do so, are educators themselves culturally aware and sensitive or do we think we are when the sad truth is we are not even aware of our own ignorance, prejudice and discrimination against others? My personal goal is to always be open minded and willing to examine my own self in order to realize what I need to do to change my self in order to be able to teach others.
