Who Am I ? Exploring Teacher Identity

Teachers are trained to think and ask questions about learner identity, their motivations, needs and aspirations. But what about teacher identity? Who are you as a teacher? What drives your teaching practice? Who dominates your ideologies? Whose values do you include in your classrooms?

In this interactive workshop, participants will analyze their lived experiences though various theoretical lenses that inform research on race, teacher identity, teacher education and the field of English Language Teaching.

THINGS YOU WILL UNCOVER:

Reflect on the intersection of racial, professional and linguistic identity.

Explore how linguistic ideologies shape language hierarchies impacting our identity.

Learn to reappropriate or reclaim your identity.
