My experience at Brock University has not been great, in all honesty. I am in my first year of the Consecutive Teachers Education program, and myself and other classmates all feel as though it is extremely more stressful than it needs to be, and that the work given could be a lot more helpful. We are studying to be teachers, but do not necessarily learn how to teach. Many assignments involve presentations about the laws of education, for instance, but we do not learn how to actually teach. We are soon entering into our first teaching placement and we are all very lost and nervous. However, one thing we learn about is the importance of diversity and inclusion as teachers, which is very important. But, I think that the way these courses are taught is not necessarily effective. We are given readings on racism written by white authors, for instance, which seems counterproductive. Coming from York University, which is a very diverse school, to Brock, where the lack of diversity in contrast was shocking to me – I find that there is a lot of telling us that we need to be anti racist, but little effort into teaching us HOW we do this. There are students who are racist, who are not learning how to be more inclusive and accepting. As a person with friends of many races, sexualities, and abilities/disabilities, it is a passion of mine to bring allyship and inclusion into my future careers.
