As an aspiring elementary school teacher I find that being an individual who is inclusive to everyone is extremely important. This workshop I went to focused on being inclusive to all gender and sexual diversity. The speakers were all incredible and knowledgeable with presenting the information speaking about their personal stories.
This reminds me of the four core ethical standards for teaching which are: care, respect, trust, and integrity. These ethical standards goes beyond just teaching.
A lot of self reflection needs to take place and retraining ourselves to do better. Language has been related to historically oppressive words and terms. This workshop gave out resources and discussed ways to be an ally. Being an ally goes beyond sticking up a rainbow sticker.
