Scholarly Research
This article taught me that the way many of the schools discipline are
very racist. It gives clear data that many educators need to look into
and recognize.
The third article, Affirming Diversity showed benefits of multicultural for students
of all cultural backgrounds.
This article showed different ways we can remove barriers that inhibit
learning and ways we can develop an environment that will help
promote a higher-quality education.
Intervention
To address my social issue I would get in contact with the superintendents of different school
districts and order a meeting to discuss my social issue. I would start with Murray School
District because I work at a preschool in that district and have met the superintendent multiple
times. I would ask for his assistance in arranging a workshop in his next teacher meeting to
discuss the different ways I've looked into fixing and making positive changes for our
students.
I would stress the importance of having racially diverse classrooms. I think it is very crucial
that they are able to see, hear, and learn from people that look like them, their mothers, their
fathers, and their families. I think that it is very important that they feel a sense of belonging
and familiarity.
I would urge the importance to pass down the knowledge and advice to their staff members
and the teachers in their school districts
Intervention con.
Cost: I would raise money to cover the costs of the workshop meetings the
superintendents would implement. An estimated cost would be about $700. This
would include the pamphlets I would create with the discussions, and workshop
activities that the superintendents would lead. The cost would also cover catered
lunch from Einsteins to the teachers who attend the meetings
The goal is for the superintendents and teachers to realize the importance of
eliminating racism in schools and the importance of a racially diverse classroom.
And to motivate them to research and look into more ways they can address and fix
these issues in their own classroom.
Resistance
Another resistance I might encounter is educators who don't believe that there
needs to be a change. I think a good way to persuade them would be to show them
the numbers and show them the benefits.
Support
Abram works at a school in the Salt Lake school district and we've discussed how
he could help me implement the meetings on his side of things. He would help pass
out flyers to students and their families and he would arrange to make a meeting
with the superintendent of his school district.
The preschool I work at is prioritized for the teachers of Murray School District. So
a lot of my preschoolers parents are teachers- I talk to them about my ideas and
gain support since I know so many of the teachers.
