When I first read about the term microaggression, I didn't really have a context of what it might look like in my classroom, because of these types of definitions. Microaggressions: everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.- Derald Wing Sue, Ph.D. As I read further in the article (in the QR code and linked to image) in this article, there were more practical examples of what a microaggression might look and feel like.
Looking at these examples on paper really makes a powerful statement. How many of these microaggressions do we unknowingly use in our classrooms? How can we be more sensitive to others? This is something that I am continuously working on. It's not easy to be sure, expecially if you don't see the microaggression from your point of view.
