1. Thinking about what you personally have experienced with play (as a child, adult, teacher, parent, etc.), and what you have learned about play and culture in this module, what will you take with you in your work with children? For example, how will you use play with children in your center or classroom? How will you approach differences with parents about play? 2. Think about what you have learned about discipline and guidance. Answer the following question: I use to think discipline was... Now I know discipline is... This most be answered in details and Facts. You do not need to site. 3. Most schools are not very high on any of the multicultural frameworks (in other words, not truly mc at the deepest and most meaningful levels). Most celebrate holidays (low level), may include diverse authors in English classes/readings (low level), or have activities like MC celebrations or dinners where families bring foods from their cultures (low level). None of these are truly mc-they do not deal with social justice, transformation, or equity issues on a meaningful level.  Think about one of the schools you attended in elementary, middle or high school. Choose one area/category/concept from any ONE of the frameworks discussed in this module, and tell how that specific school could have made their school more truly MC at one of these deeper levels. Think equity, transformation, and/or social justice as your guide here. Do not name the school, but tell what level school is is (ele.middle, high) and make sure to include the vocabulary and concepts from the mod in explaining what area/category/concept you chose AND how your idea would make this school more MC on a deeper level. If you do not use the vocab and concepts from the mod, in your own words, (NO QUOTES or citations), Please refer back to this Case Study reflections to answer question below. Please be sure to use examples. Case Study 5: This student is a five-year-old (kindergarten) girl. She was born in Pakistan, and has been in this country a very short while. Her parents speak English, but with heavy accents that make them difficult for you to understand. Her father was a lawyer in Pakistan, and left because of a political threat on his life. He now works as a clerk in a convenience store. Her older brother is in fifth grade, and students in his school often call him a terrorist. Her mother wears a head cover and does not socialize with other parents in the school. She is learning English quickly, but has never been in school, or with large groups of children, before, so she is unsure how to interact with the other students in your classroom. You have spent a lot of time this semester getting to know your particular child, his/her family, and their culture(s). For this final reflection, I want you to go back and reflect upon what YOU have learned from this entire exercise of learning and writing about your child, their family, and their cultures. 1.

For this final reflection, I want you to go back and reflect upon
what YOU have learned from this entire exercise of learning
and writing about your child, their family, and their cultures.
1. How has this experience (and your child) changed you?
2. What have you learned from this experience, both personally
and professionally? (questions 1 and 2 may go together.)
3. How will this experience influence your classroom practices
and behaviors?
Be sure to give examples and detailed answers.
