Assumed Superiority
The teacher–learner relationship is not equal and there is always an inherent power imbalance. Critically reflecting on how beliefs or bias may impact on teaching practice and the achievement of learners with different abilities and needs, backgrounds, genders, identities and cultures is crucial to being fair and managing assumptions.
Assumed superiority explores the concept of privilege, how our lived experiences differ from one another and identifying how learners can be privileged over others in our learning environments. |
