It is important for me as a future teacher to provide effective strategies that will address the various isms. I am reflecting on ableism. There are many people who are discriminated against because of their disabilities. It is important for teachers to dispel the stereotypes about children with disabilities.
As I work into the school system I have heard many stereotypes about children with disabilities such as "These children can't learn." These comments sadly, are commented by adults as well as children. Children who are disabled may believe this and feel powerless. As a professional it is important for me to dispel this stereotype and help children learn to their fullest potentials. I intend to post pictures of famous people who are disabled as well as read books about achieving your dreams.
