EDUC 302 Case Study 1 You have a student who is struggling with your synthetic approach to teaching phonics. Explain 3 alternative approaches to phonics instruction that you could use to help this student. Alternative #1: Linguistic Phonics Instruction, on page 231, is an approach that teaches unknown words by placing together sound-symbol patterns.

The author begins by exploring the complexity as well as the present issue of race in schools by asking the following questions. Lewis questions how race and racial inequality are reproduced in day-to-day life in schools along with how race can shape schooling experiences and educational outcomes. Lewis uses these questions to help frame the voices and experiences of students, teachers, parents, school personnel, and communities around issues of race. Through Lewis’ piece of work, she uses rich details that she has generated from her study to capture the "genuine" voices of participants around issues of race. She explores the complexities of race as they unfolded in Forest Hills, a white suburban elementary school, and West City and Metro 2, multiracial urban elementary schools.

Rajin Patel Period 3 1/9/11 Miss Woodward Discrimination In the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination Miss Elliott thought it would be practical to create a small scale discrimination experiment in her third grade classroom. This exercise would help the children to see the nature of racism and prejudice at an early age. First Miss Elliott divided her all-white classroom into two groups. The two groups were the children with brown eyes and the children with blue eyes. This caused the children to see differences within each other, which would cause them to become exposed to the real world’s problem of racism.

The Racially Inept Parent It seems that in today’s society there is a need for parents to begin teaching children cultural diversity at a young age. In the thesis, “See Baby Discriminate” by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman, it is discussed that over a period of time several groups of children were researched for their racial attitudes. During this study the children were tested asking questions regarding their racial attitudes; “How many White People are nice?” “How many Black people are nice?” Following the testing the groups were sent home with various forms of media to assist parents in opening dialogue about race. This was the backdrop for our discussion in class regarding racial lines and how we view our culturally diverse existence. Race at home is viewed very one sided based on the viewpoints of many of my classmates.

After reading the article I understand that content integration in the curriculum is only the first dimension of multicultural education. Students come to school with prejudices toward different groups and that is why all teachers, whether you teach math or social studies, should be sensitive to that matter and work towards reduce prejudice in their classrooms and school and create a more positive racial attitude among the students. It is in the hands of educators to encourage students to become more critical readers and thinkers, and help them understand the values that underline knowledge. Students need construct their own knowledge and think for themselves. Teachers need to help students understand the implicit cultural assumptions and perspectives of the discipline they’re teaching.
