  • Title: “Navigating Multiculturalism in the Classroom: Understanding and Supporting Students of Mixed Heritage”

    Case Study Week 1
    Linda Howard19-year-old senior
    Class valedictorian
    Recent grad
    Awarded a four-year scholarship to a prominent university in New England
    Race:Constantly mistaken for being Puerto Rican or Cape Verdean
    Father is African American
    Mother is European American
    About her race she states:“I don’t really use race, I always say, ‘My father’s Black, my mother’s White, I’m mixed.’ But I’m American; I’m human. That’s my race; I’m part of the human race” “It’s insulting when people label me as ‘You’re black’ or ‘You’re white’ I am both, I want to be part of both. I think teachers need to be sensitive to that. Stop asking me about soul food, that’s just one aspect of my mixed culture”
    About culture:“My culture is my family, I have an enormous family. I have three brothers, and my parents. My father has ten siblings. I was born and raised in America, I am fourth generation American. I’m just American and my culture is my family
    Issues:As a person of mixed heritage or race, Linda may feel or be seen as “less authentic” in terms of her identity.
    Linda didn’t expect all her teachers to be biracial like she was, but did expect them to be sensitive, accepting of who she was, and not impose their own ideas about identity on her.
    Teachers that stood out to Linda were those that could identify culturally with her, made learning fun, engaging and challenging
    QUESTIONS:
    If you were one of Linda’s teachers, how could you be sensitive to her multicultural background?
    Do you think more teachers need to be “multicultural” in order to relate to their students and teach effectively?
    As an educator, how could you find ways culturally relate to your students? Describe/explain some of the ways this could be accomplished.
    Can issues or race and identity be handled by schools? Are these issues too complicated for them? Why or why not? What skills do you think you need if you are faced with these kinds of issues? At what age should race and identity be discussed? Why?

  • Title: Exploring the Role of Chat GPT in the Classroom: Enhancing Learning and Developing Critical Thinking Skills

     
    First, use chat GPT to 1: “explain” something, 2: “write” something 3: “”brainstorm. (See class lecture on using AI in the classroom). Make copies of the results of these activities and include them on the PDF you submit on CANVAS. This part is mandatory. The rest is a matter of picking and choosing what you think is interesting to comment on.
    Then answer (some) of the following questions (you decide):
    Do you think chat box like chatGPT will help you focus on what is important?
    Save you time?
    Will chatGPT provide feedback to you before turning in your assignments?
    How can the professor in this class make sure my assignments develop your skills and challenge you to think, not just copy/paste from a chat bot?
    Conversation is a timeless skill. We are still going to need to talk to other humans. You will still need to come up with opinions and support them. You’ll still need to come up with questions and ask them of other people. How does the professor support that?
    Should we do more discussion? More small group discussions? More whole class discussion? Forum discussions? How can we use these discussions to make meaning?
    How about collaborative learning, working together? How about more creative demonstrations of learning? Videos? Storyboards? Infographics? Instagram stories? Webpages? Public service announcements? Billboards?
    How about “brain dump” quizzes ie “what do you remember from class yesterday, last week?
    Plus, there are all these existential questions related to artificial intelligence. What does it mean to be a person? What makes it us special as human beings? What can we do that artificial intelligence can’t or what are we better at?
    Now, do all this in 500 words.

  • “The Importance of Public Services: Meeting the Needs of Communities” “Equitable Access: Examining Public Services and Infrastructure for Marginalized Communities”

    A public service or service of general (economic) interest is any service intended to address specific needs pertaining to the aggregate members of a community.Public services are available to people within a government jurisdiction as provided directly through public sector agencies or via public financing to private businesses or voluntary organizations (or even as provided by family households, though terminology may differ depending on context). Other public services are undertaken on behalf of a government’s residents or in the interest of its citizens. The term is associated with a social consensus (usually expressed through democratic elections) that certain services should be available to all, regardless of income, physical ability or mental acuity. Examples of such services include the fire brigade, police, air force, and paramedics (see also public service broadcasting).A public service may sometimes have the characteristics of a public good (being non-rivalrous and non-excludable), but most are services which may (according to prevailing social norms) be under-provided by the market. In most cases public services are services, i.e. they do not involve manufacturing of goods. They may be provided by local or national monopolies, especially in sectors that are natural monopolies.
    They may involve outputs that are hard to attribute to specific individual effort or hard to measure in terms of key characteristics such as quality. They often require high levels of training and education. They may attract people with a public service ethos who wish to give something to the wider public or community through their work.
    The process of assessing the needs of the people of an area, and then designing and securing an appropriate public service to meet those needs, is often referred to in the UK as commissioning. The commissioned services may be delivered by organisations in the public sector, private sector or third sector:when the private or third sector is involved the process of commissioning will usually be linked with a process of procurement, to determine who will provide the services, at what cost and on what terms. Commissioning is often seen as a cyclical process.
    Governing bodies have long provided core public services. The tradition of keeping citizens secure through organized military defence dates to at least four thousand years ago.
    Maintaining order through local delegated authority originated at least as early as the Warring States period (5th to 3rd centuries BCE) in ancient China with the institution of xiàn (prefectures) under the control of a centrally appointed prefect. Historical evidence of state provision of dispute resolution through a legal/justice system goes back at least as far as ancient Egypt.
    A primary public service in ancient history involved ensuring the general favor of the gods through a theologically and ceremonially correct state religion.
    The widespread provision of public utilities as public services in developed countries usually began in the late nineteenth century, often with the municipal development of gas and water services. Later, governments began to provide other services such as electricity and health care. In most developed countries, local or national governments continue to provide such services, the biggest exceptions being the U.S. and the UK, where private provision is arguably proportionally more significant. Nonetheless, such privately provided public services are often strongly regulated, for example (in the US) by Public Utility Commissions.
    In developing countries, public services tend to be much less well developed. For example, water services might only be available to the wealthy middle class. For political reasons, the service is often subsidized, which reduces the finance potentially available for expansion to poorer communities.[citation needed] The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 is however, a global initiative which aims to influence the provision of public services and infrastructure to marginalized demographics.
