Race and Gender Ch 4

So, I forgot to do this for last week. My bad. But here you go. I had a lot to say about it, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to explain myself.

So what? Good point. So what? We just learned about racial issues that happen within the schools and how we, as teachers can help out those students within our classrooms. I really think that it is important to know how to do this because it is reality. We are no longer the same straight line students as we use to be. It is now that we have to step up and create opportunities for growth within our classrooms for all racial groups. Whether they be Hispanic, or Native Americans, we need to know how to handle each group in our class.

Why? Well, I think I hit the why up above, but to sum it up, knowing about the racial issues that could occur in your classroom gives you the ability to allow all students to reach their potential. It gives them the opportunity to learn about others and to become one with learning and accepting each other.

Now what? I think now, I, myself, need to study and strive to understand other racial backgrounds. I need to learn how to incorporate all varieties of cultures within my teaching. To become more understanding would be good too. I'm excited to start working on this today. Actually I started working on it last week. Cool. I'm a week ahead.
