Clarifying question
Explain the value of allowing a student to choose the topic for a persuasive essay assignment.
I believe that it is important for students to be able to learn and write about what they are interested in. By letting the students write about their interests, they are more aware and conscious about how well they want to do because it gives them more responsibility for their own work. Students will always be more interested in writing about what they like, rather than something they are not interested in.

Things teachers do if they are consciously trying to be a culturally responsive teacher:

These are INcorrect answers:
1. Approximately 60% of all teachers are White educators who only speak English.

Lester got up and walked across the front of the room to throw away trash while another student was presenting an oral book report.

Give a short description of the three types of classroom management.
The three types of classroom management are authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative.
Authoritarian teachers are high on demandingness but low on responsiveness to students' needs and desires. This kind of teacher establishes and maintains order through the use of controlling strategies. The teacher uses force, pressure, competition, punishment, and the threat of punishment to control student behavior. The teacher makes no effort to promote students' autonomy.
A permissive teacher encourages the freedom of students and interferes as little as possible. The teacher provides a great deal of affection and warmth, but little if any leadership, makes a few demands on students. This teacher is low in demandingness, but high in responsiveness.
An authoritative teacher teacher combines the best of the two other orientations- high demandingness with high responsiveness. The teacher makes developmentally appropriate demands, such as insisting that students work hard, complete their assignments, and comply with rules. At the same time, this teacher gets to know their students and build relationships. They treat their students with respect.
Explain the difference in rules and procedures.
Rules are for undesirable behaviors that have set consequences while procedures are expected classroom behaviors with no set consequences for a violation.
Name 3 things besides race/ethnicity that might be considered when evaluating the culture of students in your classroom.
The culture they have lived in has a lot to do with how your students will learn and interact with peers. This students may have been brought up in a culture that does not make eye contact when spoken to. This is something we need to recognize and respect. We as teachers need to have a conversation with those students about how the culture in America works and how we can blend the two to work together.
On page 212 of your text, Norma Gonzalez disagrees that "all members of a particular group share a normative, bounded, and integrated view of their own culture". What does that mean? How does that affect teacher perspectives?
What Norma was saying is that although students may be of the Latino descent for example, this does not mean that we as teachers can narrow their learning into a designated group. Although these students are of the same descent, does not mean they have had the same experiences and background. Each student should be treated as an individual because each students is different and deserves to be treated in that way.
This can affect teacher perspectives by changing the outlook of how us teachers see our students. We must recognize that each students needs to be challenged in their own way.
Explain why a Dr. Suess book would be inappropriate for an ESL student.
A Dr. Seuss book can be very confusing to an ESL student because the book contains lots of idioms and words that are not real English words. This can confuse the learner because it is teaching them that these words and sounds are a part of the English language, when really they are not.
