Reflective Tool: Primary Identities
Revisit your Personal and Social Identities list. Use this graphic organizer to identify the identities that are most important to you. Unpack why these parts of yourself are the most salient and how they shape your interactions with the families you serve in early intervention. If you included your racial identity in this list of the three most significant parts of your identity, why do you think that is? If you did not, why do you think that is?
