“I see a bright,
beautiful future
if we want it …
it's there for us.
It's ours to pass
on to the next
generation.”

Social Identities

▰ Identities that indicate that you belong to a broader social group

▰ How you see yourself AND how others see you
▰ Affect the kinds of opportunities you have access to, the ways you
are expected to behave, the spoken and unspoken rules and laws
you must follow, the resources that are available to you, how you
are treated, etc.
▰ Often (though not always) these identities are things you are born
with that are not immutable
 Identity Wheel

▰ Complete the outside of the wheel

Resources
to the best of your ability/comfort
● Identity Wheel in this space.
● Examples of Social
Identities ▰ Answer the questions on the inside
of the wheel, again, to the best of
your ability/comfort.
▰ Be prepared to discuss and share
how these impact your life and
your role as an educator.
