ED 5010 UNIT 2 DISCUSSION
Discussion
Situating Yourself Within Diversity Characteristics
In preparation for this discussion, you completed the Diversity Worksheet, including your own characteristics and what your "position" within those characteristics implies for your work. Based on what you learned about diversity in this unit and your own work in the Diversity Worksheet, address these prompts:
- Think about the individuals you teach. In general, how similarly do you think your diversity characteristics compare to them collectively (as a class)? Based on what you have learned about diversity, how do you think those similarities or differences affect the work you do?
- Suppose you asked your students to complete the middle column, How You Identify Yourself in Relation to Each Group. Can you think of one or more individuals you teach who would have significantly different answers than you? How do you think that impacts your interactions with them? How do you think they view those differences?
- This discussion asks you to form some opinions based on your knowledge of your students. It does not ask you to actually have your students complete the worksheet. If you work with very young students or with students who for any other reason might not be able to complete the middle column, base your opinions on what information you have about your students. If you do not think you have enough information to do so, ask your instructor for guidance.
- Reflect on how you completed the two columns in the template. What "big ideas" or "aha" moments did you have related to how your own diversity characteristics apply to your work?
Response Guidelines
Respond to at least one colleague. In your response, ask at least two questions that your colleague's post raised for you. Asking questions is one effective way to carry on the discussion in an online environment! Be sure to come back to the discussion later on, so that you can see your colleague's answer to your question; you may have more to add.
