Boaman1 Nicole Boaman 01/20/24 Week 2.1 Tolerance in Teaching Environment Assignment 1. I strongly agree I do not think of my students in terms of their race or ethnicity, I am color blind when it comes to my teaching. I feel like way because it does not matter what their race or ethnicity is, each student deserves the right to the same education. 2. I strongly agree that I should reward students who try hard, even if they are not doing well in school; building their self-esteem is important. Building student self-esteem and academic achievement is very important. If you do not reward students who try hard, he/she will stop trying. Also, not rewarding students who try, declines their self- esteem making he/she does not feel good enough or smart enough. 3. I neither agree nor disagree. I feel that yes, I will provide assignments that I know they can do but also, I would like to challenge my students within their limits. I could do this by doing an extra credit question, so it does not affect their grade. 4. I neither agree nor disagree. I first feel like the gap in achievement among students of different races is about poverty and race. But also, insufficient funding, lack of resources, and poor teacher training in low-income schools can contribute to the gap between lower-income and higher-income students. 5. I do agree that teachers should adapt their instructional practice to the distinctive cultures of African American, Latino, Asian, and Native American students. Teachers should be responsive to their students’ values, beliefs, and experiences will be more effective than those who are not.

Boaman2 6. I strongly agree that students of different races and ethnicities often have different learning styles and good teachers will match their instruction to these learning styles. Teachers should consider the learning styles of their students. We all prefer to learn in some ways more than others. 7. I strongly disagree, as a teacher we should call on students in class to make it fair to the other students. Also, as a teacher we need to make sure that the students do not feel embarrassed to speak in front of others. Some cultures, students learn that in their homes and communities about appropriate behavior which could discourage them from participating actively in class. As a teacher, yes, we should be sensitive to concerns among our students. 8. I neither agree nor disagree. Cooperative learning, students articulate their thoughts more freely and receive confirming and constructive feedback. The downside is that learning outcomes of collaborative learning depend on the quality of student’s discussions. 9. I strongly agree that students need to have a solid grasp of basic skills before they engage in complex learning tasks. This creates a basic level of understanding before completing the learning task. I agree with this, so the students do not go into the complex learning task completely confused. 10. I strongly agree that it is not fair to ask students who are struggling with English to take on challenging academic assignments. I believe that if students are doing challenging academic assignments, this is a set up for failure which can later result in poor self-esteem.

Boaman3 11. I disagree strongly that everyday lived experiences of my students take valuable time for teaching and learning. It is okay to find and use examples of historic and everyday lived experiences because that is also teaching students. 12. I strongly agree nor disagree that talking about race with my colleagues could open a can of worms. I agree that talking about race with colleagues could open a can of worms if my colleagues take what I was talking about the wrong way. It also could be a good idea to talk about race to better understand how we can better assist them with education. 13. I strongly disagree that my efforts to teach these students are being undermined. As a teacher, I would try to make my students value education. If students don’t do their homework, I will make extra time within my schedule to do homework with them or ask if I can go to their house and do homework with them.
