Letting Go to Catch Hold of Nothing: Self Evaluation and Reflection
By DesiapeMay 15, 2015 - 11:32
In the beginning of the semester, I remember looking at the course title and feeling compelled. I saw the word ‘multicultural’ and immediately and solely connecting it to race. I was ready for a space where we would tease out the complexities and nuances of race and its effect on the classroom. I had stories, issues, questions I was ready to address and found solace in all the people and institutions I was ready to implicate throughout the semester. My goal was to find answers in regards to my past experiences in the classroom as I searched for validation in my struggles with my opposing personal and academic senses of self. I was looking for the ‘recipe’ for multicultural education that I would be able to recite when necessary.
