I am firmly committed to diversity and equity in all areas of life. In this class I will work to promote an anti-discriminatory + anti-racist environment where everyone is safe and welcome. Discrimination can be direct or indirect and take place at both institutional and personal levels. Discrimination is unacceptable and I am committed to providing equality of opportunity for all by eliminating any and all discrimination, harassment, bullying, or victimization.

There will be moments where I will fall short of this vision and appreciate the opportunity to learn and get feedback. If you feel that my class falls short of this commitment, I encourage you to talk with me or a trusted adult who can reach out to me. The success of this policy relies on the support and understanding of everyone in this class. We all have a responsibility not to be offensive to each other, or to participate in, or condone harassment or discrimination of any kind. I value your participation in this process.

Your perspective is powerful.
Your perspective is powerful.
In English, we read stories that reflect our world. The world is vast and ever-changing. Therefore, we will discuss subject matter regarding and name examples of how race and racism, gender identity, socioeconomic status, sexuality, and discrimination shape stories.
By reading about experiences different than our own, texts are "windows" that can inform our perspective. Reading texts that "mirror" our experiences can validate our feelings, and remind us that our voices are powerful. Watch Rudine Sims Bishop speak about this here.
No one will ever be forced to read or share anything they feel unsafe doing so.
