Many years have gone on more and more people are being educated on important topics. In our society, we still do have people who don’t support 2SLGBTQIA+. In my classroom this is a topic that I will educate my students on. There are many ways that homophobic, transphobic, biphobic and oppressive can be addressed in

Multilingual Students
Realistically, when we enter our future classrooms there will be many multilingual students. Where our school system goes wrong, is that some may see this as a negative factor. However, the inclusion of multilingual students, opens up a whole new window to lessons and experiences within the classroom. As educators we must understand that each
Elementary Music Education
When it comes to arts in schools, they aren’t taken very seriously. If the school board or school itself is low on money they will usually cut some part of the art curriculum. That’s because art is still not seen as important enough to stay in schools when budgets are low. This isn’t fair because
Critical Hip Hop Pedagogy
As I began this reading, I was unsure of how the dance form of hip hop could be used in school. Growing up in school, dance was part of our arts education curriculum. This was the only time that I have ever witnessed dance as part of my schooling. After reading this article, my eyes
Citizenship

In fact, I feel like all students have good intentions. What makes us special and unique is the fact that we all learn differently and have different thoughts
Carl Leggo
When starting my research for assignment #1, I came across an individual that caught my attention. Carleton Derek Leggo, also known as Carl Leggo, is a school professor and a poet. Carl is from Corner Brook, Newfoundland, where he started his teaching career. Leggo specialized in the department of Language and Literacy Education. He taught
The Tyler Rationale
After this week’s readings, I was able to see that the Tyler rationale was also present in my own schooling. After hearing that Tyler’s rationale creates an orderly, and systemic process that is “value neutral”, I can relate this to my past. Tyler’s four main points help me think back on my past schooling and
