Question 1

Consider your approach to teaching

Accepted Answer

Take a candid look at your own values and approach to disability, gender, sexuality and race. Do you think you are letting your personal biases steep into your teaching? Educators need to be aware that the examples they use, the way they cover topics and the harmful comments they let slide can alienate members of their class.

Question 2

Have high expectations of all your students

Accepted Answer

We can all think back to fond memories of teachers at school that believed in us and made their high expectations clear. That feeling of support and positive expectation drives us to reach our full potential. Us teachers love when someone believes in us and our pupils are no different. Pupils have a better attitude to learning when they feel that their teacher has faith in them. They need reassurance from us.

Question 3

Create opportunities to listen to all children

Accepted Answer

It is important to hear what your pupils have to say - especially the ones who have societal conscious or unconscious biases stacked against them. The reason we have to make an active effort to listen to them is because they may have never felt comfortable enough to share their thoughts and feelings before. They may be fearful of judgement or lack the self-esteem needed to express themselves openly.
