Abstract
In the field of education, teachers are sentries for maintaining proper decorum, upholding school policies, and maintaining a social justice classroom, free of adversarial behaviors. While the premise of proper social and academic student engagement is expected, a question arises of what happens when teachers are not aware of inappropriate social interactions. This narrative inquiry investigated the levels of awareness and decision-making processes teachers may possess when addressing microaggression. The findings offer guidance to support educators, schools, and districts to establish clear guidelines and policies on how to identify and address microaggression within the school community, ensuring social and behavioral awareness.
