Teaching Identity

Introduction

On this page, I discuss

who you are as an educator as you will teach through the lens of your own experience. Tapping into who you are as an individual is an asset in your teaching and present yourself creatively. Simultaneously, being aware of and interrogating our own positionality and privilege better situates us to combat hegemonic structures that lead to denied access and low level education for students of poverty and those living in color.
 
Describe why you became an urban educator and what you want your reviewers to know about you. What to you bring that is an asset and how will you integrate your personal assets into your teaching. What limitations do you bring? How will you seek to mediate those limitations in the service of rigorous and robust student learning? In this section, consider including: resume; background; hobbies; strategies, beliefs, and/or experiences that define you as an educator
