Creating Productive Work Environments
Student will write a 4 to 6 page paper with the focus to take a topic from the course and begin to promote real change in your school, classroom, lessons, or interactions with other people during your professional day.
Choose an area in your professional day in which you can begin to make change. This is not a group assignment/project, however you may choose to discuss your project with others to gain their insights and perspectives. For example, you may enlist others on this mission, connect to an already existing group, change your curriculum, involve parents, advocate for your students (or others' students), etc.
Your plan must include the following parts:
1. What area of anti-bias education will you focus in on for this project? Why?
2. What does the situation currently look like? (Absence of multicultural education, historical views told only from the perspective of dominant culture, absence of differentiation when instructing English Language Learners, name calling in the classroom, racial slurs on the bathroom walls etc.).
3. What is the goal of your plan? What are the expected outcomes?
4. What personal and institutional steps will be taken to make the necessary changes?
5. In most cases we are not able to stand alone to champion change, so who can you enlist to help you/stand with you on this journey?
