Posted @withregram • @teachingisintellectual As all eyes (and ears!) are on Amanda Gorman and her journey to becoming Youth Poet Laureate and to the 2021 Inaugural show stealer, framing of her "overcoming" her speech and auditory processing disorder are prominent. I also noted Joe Biden's fluency in his Inaugural address, knowing he must have practiced it tirelessly. This is how ableism shows up, this is what it looks like. They didn't "overcome" their disabilities - they accommodate them, they implement strategies that allow them to mask their disabilities. Accommodating for disability, making space for it, accepting it, honoring it, acknowledging it - this is how we overcome disability as a barrier. We remove the barriers! "Overcoming" disability is a bootstraps/grit kind of narrative. The idea that if you want it bad enough or try hard enough, your disability won't stop you. But that view puts all the onus on the person and none on the environment, the community, the rest of us. It's a harmful myth and it is perpetuated in schools every day. We absolutely must stop expecting everyone to be the same, learn the same, move the same, think the same, talk the same, work the same, play the same, love the same. We absolutely must make room for all the ways of being and dismantle the barriers for all those ways to be included. "Normal" is a social construct. * * * * * #abar #inclusion #ungrading #quaranteaching #SelfRegulation #TeachingIsIntellectual #TeachersOfInstagram #AntiRacistEducation #WeTeach #AntiBiasEducation #TheIsTeacherPrep #TraumaInformedEducation #TraumaInformedCare #InclusiveEducation #RadicalEducation #RadicalEducator #BehaviorIsCommunication #SocialEmotionalLearning #FundPublicEducation #PandemicPedagogy https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWPekqD_SlOmc_dANFvsDdCr0gM6ksfraquQw0/?igshid=eysrvxt5ikvn
