Interventionist Side Of The Spectrum: A Self Analysis

I would describe my personal beliefs as strongly on the interventionist side of the spectrum. The reason I feel that I am on that side of the spectrum is that I feel that social conditions are a big factor in creating barriers for people who fall outside of what is considered average. Discrimination in society plays a large part in who can participate in activities. With a proactive, student centered, open minded approach we can dismantle the barriers that are created by societal factors, thereby reestablishing equity for all. As a teacher it is our job to advocate on behalf of all our student, including those who are differently abled and those who fit mainstream
definitions.
