    Artifact #1: DASA Certificate

    The Dignity for All Students Act or DASA was developed to provide the public

    education system, elementary and secondary schools and its students, with an environment that

    was safe and supportive free from discrimination, intimidation, taunting, harassment, and

    bullying on school property, school buses, and at school functions (NYSED, 2018). This act

    provides a culturally sensitive approach and embraces diversity of all students. DASA takes into

    account topics of tolerance, respect for others, and dignity of others and includes but is not

    limited to different races, weights, national origins, ethnic groups, religions, religious practices,

    mental or physical abilities, sexual orientations, gender identity, and sexes (NYSED, 2018).

    Teachers should be certified in DASA because this will allow them to be better equipped

    to deal with matters such as bullying that we continue to see on the rise. Through our Cultural

    Competencies as an Emancipatory Pedagogy course, I feel as though I have gained a better

    understanding of what my professional role will look like. That course and the DASA certificate

    allow me to be more aware of the issues that can impact my students and how involved I will be

    at just being aware and sensitive towards the various students I will be privileged to teach. I am

    aware that I will be working with students that come from various home environments and

    situations and it is my responsibility to be diligent and mindful and to be accepting and non-

    judgemental. This artifact that I have chosen meets curriculum and professional standards that I

    will upheld.
