Middle schools are increasingly diverse social environments where students are not only developing their identities but also learning social norms and expectations. As middle level educators, we believe in creating school cultures and communities that are respectful, welcoming, inclusive, and affirming for all (Bishop & Harrison, 2021). Microaggressions pose significant risks to young adolescents who are already vulnerable as they explore their identities. Microaggressions threaten students’ dignity and psychological/emotional condition. These subtle, often unintentional, comments or actions can also be deliberately harmful, emphasizing differences in gender, ability, language, race/ethnicity, LGBTQ+ status, etc. Regardless of intent, microaggressions can do long-term, irreversible harm. As school safety is first and foremost at the middle level, it is essential we create and maintain a positive school culture/climate, identifying and immediately addressing microaggressions. By fostering a strong understanding and implementing a proactive plan, we can mitigate the harm and damage caused by microaggressions, protecting students’ social-emotional wellbeing.
