Overcoming the Challenges that May Come at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

In most of my education, good grades are my main goal. The school is easy for me, so I need to ask myself, "Why am I in school?" I answer "I will get good grades" when I am in high school. change. There is a more challenging thing in my course. This is not just the grade but the lessons learned in these courses. The results are still very important to me, but if it is mere grades, I will miss teaching to shape my learning experience today.

When this happens, I can not think of my hometown youth in Ashton Whitaker, now a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Kinosha, Wisconsin. In 2016, Ashton allowed him to use a toilet that suits his gender and challenged his school correctly. The court admitted that making young men use wrong toilets is illegal discrimination based on gender. Minister DeVos consistently showed the intentional ignorance when she refused to visit a poorly performing school and the view of shame and anti-LGBT when he refused certain student rights. At some point, as an education minister, she should know that she should represent all students, not just a few.

Jesse Stommel left the University of Wisconsin-Madison as the University of Wisconsin system lost its term of protection. # FakeTenure, as I wrote in this blog, there is little support for the work I did with Jesse - these jobs are a deep belief of the people around us, including those who control our work I will challenge. Therefore, we are considered to be threatening. Before he left, I got the opportunity to learn from Jesse at the August digital education symposium (he was my junior colleague - an inexperienced associate professor). This opportunity created by Jesse and his colleagues is the first time that I actually studied my way of teaching and evaluation method at the University of Wisconsin Madison for 11 years.

This article was inspired by the social justice group of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I joined the group as a guest speaker. It is hosted by Carl Grant, professor of education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This article does not reflect the contents of the group. This group urged me to continue talking at the beginning of a group of experts while using language as a lacking element in the framework of many social justice. I am thankful to my friend Lorena Mancilla for my colleague who helped me with my idea.
