Hannah's Input Section: · TLW be able to define discrimination within a group discussion setting. · TLW be able to critically discuss what they would do in the face of situations like the ones shown. Show video of deli shop (Part 1-negative side) · In small groups, have students debrief: o “What would you do in this situation?” o “Do you think you would have handled it differently?” o How many people would stand up in the face of others being discriminated? · Have students come back together as a class and talk about what they discussed. Show video of deli shop (Part 2-postive side) · In small groups, have students debrief: o “Does seeing this side of it change your mind?” o “How does it change your expectations?” Students will debrief within small groups to define what discrimination is, and they will also critically think about how they might react in the same situation. They should be able to think about it from different perspectives (as White customers, as Hispanic customers, and as the workers). They will then come together as a class to further discuss and share their ideas. It will be important to see how they respond initially and then how those opinions might change after seeing the second video. There is a total of 4% of Hispanic teachers in the field which equals about one of you out of this whole class. Knowing this helps us to realize how difficult students from these different backgrounds have it. They do not have any teachers in their schools who are able to understand them and to relate to them. With mostly White teachers in the schools, we need to make a huge effort in order to help these students reach their potential and to succeed in school. Migrant Workers One way that we can relate to this problem of discrimination is through the presence of migrant workers children in our classrooms. Many states have migrant workers coming to harvest crops and to pick fruit several months out of the year. There is an estimated 1.3 migrant workers who travel between states looking for work. According to a survey from 2000, 61 percent of these families are below the poverty level. At that time as well, the median income of these families is less than $10,000 a year. Student enrollment is high in the fall and then drops significantly in the winter months when the migrant families go back to their homes. As teachers we need to be prepared for all types of students in our classrooms and this includes migrant workers children. Many times these students are English Language Learners and this can often pose problems for solely English speaking teachers. It is important to understand the learning styles of these students and also some of their educational concerns and strategies. Students will be used to show how many Hispanic teachers are in the field of teaching. The whole class will stand up and then after a moment of looking around, they will all sit down expect for one student. That one student represents the percentage of Hispanic teachers in the field. The class will share some of their opinions and thoughts about the small number of these teachers in schools. They should be willing to discuss how students are affected and how the schools are affected.
