Would this make a difference to the inequities experienced in schools? #EDFD553

Feel like this sums up #EDFD553 #nearly finished

@joanne_vuu definitely think there is still gender bias within schools, it may even be embedded in the hidden curriculum to an extent

Are single sex schools better for the student than co-ed schools? #EDFD553 #education

Move the focus from gender differences to the individual as a person #LikeAGirl youtube.com/watch?v=XjJQBj… #EDFD553

@VinceCavaleri I think the most important part of teaching is to care about students and allow them to become the person they want to be!

Racism is impacting the attendance and grades of Indigenous students. theconversation.com/racism-hits-in…

There is no gene or set of genes that define learning styles. It is the interactions we experience that can influence this #EDFD553

@MoniqueImer that's a good point, I know myself within the classroom often use words that generalise gender without conscious thought

We are surrounded by dominant discourse in regards to males and females, do we as teachers unintentionally encourage it? #EDFD553

I find this quote appropriate in terms of equitable education. #EDFD533

@ghwill001 90% if not more of us, as much as we don't like to admit it this is a dominant discourse that is hard to challenge

Teachers often accept Indigenous underachievement as normal. This must change if we are to make education equitable for everyone #EDFD553

@bryana_cooper @KirBergan I agree I think it's about making a curriculum that is inclusive for all cultures and people

@popupsammi food is something we can all relate to regardless of culture or language. We can all appreciate the value of good food!

@coachstav @TEDTalks @bryana_cooper @LukeWallekers if you aren't part of the solution you are part of the problem!

@mitch_fitzpat I agree. It is something people learn through social interactions which means it can be changed

Is racism part of our genetic makeup or is it a social construct? #EDFD553

No one is born racist. Racism is a social construct, it is taught through schools, parents and structurally (gov, courts etc) #EDFD553
