Multicultural Initiatives: Self-Efficacy…

What's this blog about?

I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.

Self-Efficacy…

is not the same as "self-esteem."

Perry's Principals - Helping kids reach their full potential - high expectations with support to get thre.

Using "choice words" to build self-efficacy and kindness through language, which also empowers students to be able to talk about themselves and to others. No put downs!
