After listening to cult of pedagogy podcast, I started to
think about how pronouncing the student’s names correctly and knowing their
names it’s important to the students, which is something that I never put
attention before. Being able to pronounce their names correctly makes the students
feel care and value, growing up I personally have never had a problem in which
the teacher or even the substitute, couldn’t pronounce my name. So, it’s
something that I didn’t really put much attention to it, but I do remember how
my classmates, sometimes names were mispronounced by the teacher. There was one
time where the teacher would pronounce a student last names differently, then
she liked, and she was bother by it, but she also never mentions it. Which
after listing to this podcast, I see how just pronouncing the student’s names correctly
is important for them. It’s something that I want my students to feel in my classroom,
I want them to feel appreciated and know that I care enough, that I would do
everything to not just know their names, but learn how to pronounce them
correctly.
