Based on this week’s Required Studies, develop material that weaves the following concepts as well as others you have gleaned from your studies this week:
- How do the social identities (culture, ethnicity, and race) impact you, your students, and your school?
- What assumptions do we make about people from different races, ethnicities, and cultures?
- Pose your own answer to Sichel and Bacon’s (2015) question, “Why is there a dichotomy—where some students achieve and some students do not?” (p. 207).
- Why is it important to develop equity in your classroom?
- How will this perspective affect what you teach, and how will you teach it?
You may elect to show your learning in one of the following ways:
-
- Write a 2- to 3-page reflection paper
- Create a narrated Prezi or PowerPoint
- Make a video of yourself discussing the prompts or a narrated video that uses graphics
Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.
