Observation CollaborationThis week you will complete an observat.docxcherishwinsland
Observation Collaboration
This week you will complete an observation activity in your community. This activity will help prepare you for the Week 7 Assignment. This Forum is unique so read the instructions and point values carefully.
Write a 500+ word initial post that includes these components:
· Observation: 5 points
· Go to a public place and observe the people there for 25 minutes. What are the details of the location? Describe the general context (time of day, lighting, sounds, vibe/energy, etc.). Describe the people around you and their sociodemographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender/sex, socioeconomic status, etc.).
· Norms: 10 points
· Identify two or more social norms that people engaged in at the public place. A norm is a social rule. There are many norms that help to frame how we are supposed to behave in our daily lives, one example is gender norms (what are social rules we follow to 'be masculine' and to 'be feminine'); another example is standing in line (consider what would happen if you cut everyone in line at 8am in a Starbucks?).
· Concepts: 10 points
· How do these norms you observed in the scene fit with sociological concepts and theories we’ve learned so far in class? Some examples of sociological concepts we’ve learned about so far include gender roles and emotional labor. (What is a sociological concept? See below).
· Reflection: 5 points
· Reflect on your experience. How was this observing others through a sociological lens different from when you’ve “people watched” in the past? What perspectives do you think a sociologist can bring to our understanding of everyday human behavior?
· Active Forum Engagement: 10 points:
· Remember to write at least three 100+ peer responses. As with our other Forums, two responses need to be to peer posts and one response needs to be to someone who commented on your post. In any public scene, all of us will notice different things, and find different observations important or unimportant. In your peer responses, help one another identify sociodemographic characteristics, social norms, or sociological concepts that the classmate may not have noticed. Consider helping one another notice common themes in the types of public places you choose and your observations of people in those scenes.
· Active Forum Presence: 5 points
· Learner posts 4+ different days in the learning week. Initial post is made by Thursday 11:55pm ET of the learning week. Response posts are made by Sunday 11:55pm ET of the learning week.
· Writing Skills: 5 points
· Post is 500+ words. All posts reflect widely accepted academic writing protocols like using capital letters (“I am” not “i am”), cohesive sentences, and no texting language. Dialogue is also polite and respectful of different points of view.
What is a “sociological concept?” They are all the bold terms and phrases within the text, such as "socialization," "norms" and "folkways." Look at the bottom of the text page for the .

Chapter Outline
9.1 What Is Diversity, and Why Is Everybody Talking About It?
9.2 Categories of Diversity
9.3 Navigating the Diversity Landscape
9.4 Inclusivity and Civility: What Role Can I Play?
Introduction
Student Survey
How do you feel about diversity, equity, and inclusion? These questions will help you determine how the
chapter concepts relate to you right now. As you are introduced to new concepts and practices, it can be
informative to reflect on how your understanding changes over time. We’ll revisit these questions at the end
of the chapter to see whether your feelings have changed. Take this quick survey to figure it out, ranking
questions on a scale of 1–4, 1 meaning “least like me” and 4 meaning “most like me.”
1. I'm aware of the different categories of diversity and the various populations I may encounter.
2. I think we sometimes go too far in trying to be sensitive to different groups.
3. I think nearly everybody in our society has equal opportunity.
4. It’s not my role to ensure equity and inclusiveness among my peers or colleagues.
You can also take the Chapter 9 survey (https://openstax.org/l/collegesurvey09) anonymously online.

About This Chapter
In this chapter you will learn about diversity and how it plays a role in personal, civic, academic, and
professional aspects of our lives. By the end of the chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Articulate how diverse voices have been historically ignored or minimized in American civic life, education,
and culture.
• Describe categories of identity and experience that contribute to diverse points of view.
• Acknowledge implicit bias and recognize privilege.
• Evaluate statements and situations based on their inclusion of diverse perspectives.
9.1 What Is Diversity, and Why Is Everybody Talking About It?
Estimated completion time: 34 minutes.
Questions to Consider:
• Historically, has diversity always been a concern?
• What does it mean to be civil?
• Why do people argue about diversity?
“For the vast majority of my life, I thought being an Asian-American—who went through the Palo Alto
School District—meant that I was supposed to excel in academics. But, in reality, I did the opposite. I
struggled through college, both in classes and in seeking experiences for my future. At first, I thought I
was unique in not living up to expectations. But as I met more people from all different backgrounds, I
realized my challenges were not unique.
“I began capturing videos of students sharing their educational issues. Like me, many of my peers lack
the study skills required to achieve our academic goals. The more I researched and developed videos
documenting this lack of skill, the more I realized that student identities are often lost as they learn
according to a traditional pedagogy. I ...
Main Discussion United States CensusDefining your racial and PazSilviapm
Main Discussion: United States Census
Defining your racial and ethnic identities has to do with how you classify race and identity and how others categorize them as well. Race refers to the conception that people can be categorized into groups based on skin color, hair texture, and facial features. Japanese is an example of a racial group. Ethnicity refers to a group of people who share a sense of connectedness based on national origin, language, or religion. Irish-Catholic is an example of an ethnic group. The term
culture
also appears in discussions about race and ethnicity. Culture refers to shared attitudes and behaviors, such as customs. People of the same race and ethnicity often share culture as well, and you may notice some overlap between culture, race, and ethnicity.
There are different approaches used to define racial and ethnic identities. Your text emphasizes an approach called
constructionism
. Constructionists argue that definitions of race and ethnicity cannot be separated from social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences. They believe that these outside influences "construct" definitions of race and ethnicity, and definitions change as social processes change. For example, black children in the 1950s may have felt they were not as valued, not as competent, and not as "good" as white children because social processes at the time supported these ideas. Political and economic influences favored white children over black children. Social processes in the current era reject favoring white children over black children. Constructionism has both benefits and limitations when you consider your own racial and ethnic identities.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the "Framework Essay" as well as the assigned pages in Readings 1, 4, and 7 from Section I of the course text,
The Meaning of Difference
. Pay particular attention to the concept of constructionism as it relates to race and ethnicity.
Think about how you define your own racial and ethnic identities.
Consider how the constructionist approach has influenced your racial and ethnic identities.
Reflect on the benefits and limitations of the constructionist approach as it relates to your racial and ethnic identities.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post
a brief description of your racial and ethnic identities; that is, how do you define your race and ethnicity? After reading about the constructionist model, explain how it influences your racial and ethnic identities. In your explanation, include specific references that are personal to your racial and ethnic identity. Finally, briefly explain what you see are the benefits and limitations of a constructionist approach to one’s identity.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Earned her PhD at Stanford University
Professor at University of Arizona
Publications include:
To Remain an Indian: Lessons in Democracy from a
Century of Native American Education
Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty and
Federal Law
Away from Home: American Indian Boarding School
Experiences
They called it prairie light : the story of Chilocco Indian
School
3. Check out Lomawaima’s interview
with PBS
Think About It:
Are Native American children better served by Native
American teachers? If so, is that the case for other
minority groups?
According to Lomawaima, most Native people would
prefer a segregated, rather than an integrated school.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
4. Read Me!
Make a list: What pops into your head when you
hear the term “American Indian”?
According Indian Country Today, 45% of American Indian
opinion leaders polled believe the media is the primary cause of
anti-Indian sentiment.
5. “Safe” Versus “Dangerous”
“Many episodes illustrate the federal dilemma that has endured to the
present day: how to judge what might be allowably safe, innocuous
expressions of Native beliefs and practices and how to manage or
eradicate beliefs and practices judges too dangerously different or
subversive or mainstream values,” (pp. 285).

6. The Meriam Report (1928)
Surveyed the economic and social conditions of
American Indians, including health, education, family
and community life, and more.
See parts of the actual report here
Proposed that “Indian people should have the power
to make choices and that the federal government
should support them in their choices,” (Lomawaima
and McCarty pp. 287)
Led to the development of bilingual instruction in
some federal schools.
7. “Some Indians proud of their race and
devoted to their culture have no desire
to be as the white man is..” (Meriam
Report)
Questions:
1.How does this perception of American Indians
differ from Freire’s characteristics of the
oppressed?
2. Why might native-americans have different Goals
than other oppressed groups?
8. Keeping the quote from the Meriam Report in
mind: what do you think the “American
Dream” looks like to the Native-Americans
sitting at the table with President Obama?
What would it look like to Native American
youth?
9. The Rise of Indigenous Community-
Controlled Schools
1970 marked a turning point in Native
American education
Widely publicized critiques and reports forced
President Nixon to declare that “every Indian
community wishing to do so should be able to
control its own schools”
Rough Rock was the first American-Indian
community controlled school
10. Rough Rock Community School still
exists today!
Check out their website: Has its mission have
remained the same since its inception?
See the campus and some kids in action here!
11. Short-Lived Success
By 1978, there were 34 Indigenous
community-controlled schools with a
bilingual/bicultural curriculum
Academic achievement was high, with
students at community-controlled schools
performing as well as, if not better than,
students from traditional schools
Restored self-confidence and pride among
Native children
12. Until…
Budget consolidations, policy changes, and
financial instability, oh my!
“No other U.S. school system functions under
such a cloud of uncertainty…This constellation of
conditions can only be described as
institutionalized racism” (pp. 294)
13. Think about it…
Why has every tribal gain been met by
road blocks imposed by the federal
government?
What would Freire say about it? What is in the
best interest of the oppressors?
14. Listen to this NPR interview with
Native American professor and
author Anton Treuer
How do you/would you approach the topic
of Thanksgiving in your classroom?
Check out this current Native American
boarding school’s website and this student
profile. In what ways is Santa Fe Indian
School succeeding or failing to provide a
bicultural and bilingual education?
15. Read this Article
Are off reservation boarding schools a better option
for Native- American students?
How would Schlesinger feel about teaching Native-
American history and traditions to the current
generation of Navajo children? Is it as “irrelevant” as
the Afrocentric curriculum
Are off reservation schools, with their focus on
preserving language and culture, preparing students
to succeed in society?
16. In Closing…
Most of the articles and interviews I found
around the subject of Native-American
education were from PBS and NPR.
What does that say about the significance given to
the Native-American achievement gap in
mainstream media and society?
