Examining Resources to Center Students' Identities

How are educators reviewing, selecting, and remixing OER resources to ensure that the resources sustain and affirm students' different cultural and linguistic identities? Are the resources creating space for students to see themselves, see others, and experience others? Those spaces in curriculum are referred to as mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors by Dr. Rudine Sims-Bishop and examining them is part of the work that educators in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Wisconsin have been doing to interrogate curricular resources for being culturally responsive. By using Open Education Resources (OER) as the basis for their curriculum review, educators are able to use a specific tool to identify and redress harmful bias. In this session, we will share the Identifying Bias tool and some of the work of the educators as they share their own lived experiences as a frame for looking at which identities are centered and which identities are left out. Participants will see how the unique licensing properties of OER not only allow for remixing, but encourage collaboration, decentering of dominant identities and the opportunity for supporting students in finding the genius and joy of their identities.
