Week+Three

Hello, For this week, please read Chapter 3 from Charles M. Payne's //So Much Reform and So Little Change//. If you cannot get the attachment to load via BB, get it here:. For some reason, BB does not seem to load this text on my computer. The "podcast" on BB will also provide you with some background on the text as a whole as well as some major points from this chapter. As for your response this week, I have four requests for your writing-based focus in your responses. What do you make of Payne's discussion? How does this chapter as a whole inform your thinking about experiences of teaching in urban schools and in non-urban schools? What in this chapter is most important in developing your understanding of teaching the culturally diverse child? What information do you think you can use to inform your teaching practice? How does this chapter illuminate, confirm, or contradict your understanding of structural inequalities? Isolate a spot in the larger chapter that you would like to unpack and discuss in detail. That is, choose a paragraph or two that you find troubling, promising, thought-provoking, memorable or connected to your own teaching and learning experiences and respond to it, in detail, for us.
