As an educator, you probably have some pretty strong convictions about what constitutes excellence in your classroom. However, we do not often take the time to interrogate where our measures of excellence and standards are birthed. What makes the standard forms we uphold superior to other ways of knowing in our world?

This fits into beliefs I have had my entire life-  always critical of why things are the way they are and how they become that way.  I realized that this applies to things I believe and expectations that I have which arise from my life experience. This makes me pause and reflect on what my expectations are and why?
