Did all students participate equally? Yes, all the kids participated equally. Was this a lesson that inspired critical thinking? If so, how, if not, why? I think most lessons inspired critical thinking, but not every lesson, like in both classes’ science lacks critical thinking. What did you notice related to cultural diversity (think gender, ability, learning style, class, ethnicity, religion, etc.)? I think in both classes having so many students from different cultures helped provide a multicultural classroom and having the different posters, bulletin boards, and art helped too. As a multicultural educator, what ideas could you use that you saw in this lesson/activity OR what ideas could y...

Philosophy of education A classroom, in my opinion, should be a healthy, loving environment where children are free to express themselves, blossom, and develop. I hope to teach first-graders and the tactics I have learned that I plan to use are morning meetings, constructive vs. negative discipline, classroom jobs, and problem-solving skills to ensure that our classroom culture thrives. I will encourage my students to be good friends, family members, and members of society in expressing how important it is to celebrate different cultures. It is super important for parents, siblings, peers, teachers, the community, and culture to help develop the minds of young children so that they grow up with the values and beliefs of a caring inclusive person. My role as an educator Diversity encourages uniqueness in the classroom, and it is my role as a teacher to foster acceptance and multicultural equity among all children. Teaching is something I really enjoy doing. All students, in my opi...

  Timeline: How equity has informed educational policy   Mendez vs. Westminster School District of Orange County. (1946) is a landmark case in the history of racial segregation in California public schools. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided that forcing Mexican American pupils to be separated based on their ethnicity, skin color, or the Spanish language was unconstitutional and illegal. This case laid the groundwork for upholding the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, bolstering the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Brown vs Board (1954) Oliver Brown and other plaintiffs were denied admittance to a public school where white students were the majority. This was made possible by rules that allowed for racial segregation. Brown alleged that segregation violated the 14th Amendment by denying minority children equal protection. Brown filed a class-action lawsuit a...
