Inequities and Ethical Dilemmas beyond the Classroom: Joseph's Story
Mungal, Angus Shiva
Educational Forum, v84 n1 p29-47 2020
This essay considers school and external factors that influenced a teacher's decision to pass a high school student, thus allowing him to graduate high school. I explore my role in understanding and then enacting change within the classroom. This article prompts educators to self-reflect on their positionality, moral decision-making, and culturally relevant pedagogies to address inequities within their institutions. This self-study is example of research that informs teachers about the complexities of ethical and moral decision making in the classroom.
