The Critical Analysis Essay from my Introduction to Multicultural Education class at Leeward Community College provides evidence that I have completed the HTSB Standard 04: Content Knowledge. This essay called for me to analyze the article “Pidgin and Education: A position paper,” by Da Pidgin Coup. The assignment was split into three parts: interpretation, reflection, and practical application. For the interpretation section, I was to cite and interpret a quote from the article. I needed to ascertain the argument being made. For the second section, I needed to give my thoughts and stance on the information presented in the article. For the third section, I elaborated on how I would use the information and concepts presented in the article in my own teaching. The quote I chose to use was where the author pointed out that if children’s first language is Pidgin, they will better understand the content that is being taught in…
In the service of social harmony, politeness often discourages the expression of negative emotions even if they are felt and encourages the expression of positive emotions even if they aren't felt. I completely agree with this statement as I have often observed people responding in this manner. We have been always taught to be nice to others even if they do us bad or say something nasty but I feel that it limits the freedom of speech and also you are not being true to yourself and to the other person. Not telling the person how you truly feel and sugar coating the words does more harm to your relationship that telling the person honestly. It might look like an easy route to not look like a mean or bad person or not to hurt the other person’s feeling but keeping how you truly feels inside you and just saying good things makes you more negative and eventually the true feelings will come out and things will turn really ugly then.…

You’re right about the cultural change in America and that kids should be prepared for it. I would hope you get more people to come and show support. Joyce Maples would get a letter from me stating that: I’m happy for your support on the idea on multicultural lessons being taught in classrooms. In your letter, you provided me your appreciation for the school Halloween party and how the children’s costumes challenged the stereotypes of people who’s against it. I hope you keep up with the positive support and help the movement continue. For Rebeca…
Being a military brat I was raised around all different kinds of race, religion, cultures, and so on. I know what it is like to be that one with different views and values. Relating to students is really important to me because I want them to always feel safe and comfortable in my classroom. Multicultural education is education that teaches the value of cultural diversity (Slavin, 2012). There are five dimensions that fall under multicultural education, which are content integration, knowledge construction, prejudice reduction, empowering school culture. These five dimensions are different strategies to implement diversity in the classroom, and using culture examples in our content area. I have learned many things through the five dimensions of multicultural education and will implement it in my classroom. In one of my journal entries I stated “I am really glad that I read up on this and now I can bring this to the table at our first meeting on Thursday “(entry 3). Reading all of this information I was able to bring information to our group meeting, and everyone was very grateful for the information. We have been working on a plan to implement throughout all of the classes, in our “6th Grade…

There are five types of Educational Approaches/ Theories. As an educator you will not use them all but the ones that is geared towards the way you teach and interact with your students. These five approaches/theories will be implemented into this course will be the Human Relations Approach, Multicultural Education Approach, Teaching of the Exceptional and Culturally Different, Single-Group Studies Approach, and Multicultural Social Justice Approach.

Mandating cultural competence training for all professionals in the field of behavior science and education to ensure we are equipped with the tools essential to reach all members of the community regardless of their demographics and cultural dynamics. Teachers and other professionals in the field of education are in the trenches with our youth, providing them academic curriculum that is essential to their development, so perhaps our educational systems can also implement a new class curriculum that focuses on identifying community resources that meet the needs of multicultural family dynamics. Also, by participating in neighborhood outreach services to the homes that are in proximity to the school as a demonstration to the community that we have instilled responsive forms of communication in our youth and are advancing their abilities to address and recognize social issues competently. By simply planting the seed in our youth at a young age and constantly reinforcing their perception consistent to fostering equitable treatment and the competency to recognize social issues and the hardships of others using the sociological imagination is the precursor to adequately addressing this…
