Material Type: Teaching/Learning Strategy
The purpose of this OER is to examine how pre-adolescent Black males from a rural elementary school in the South who have been identified as “at-risk,” articulated both their current and past schooling experiences. This OER coincides with the book, "Wassup with all the Black Boys Sitting in the Principal's Office" by Dr. Rashad Anderson.This OER helps students understand the interactions and engagements that some elementary Black male students experience with their teachers and other practices within/without the school in which they may have experienced marginalization. As Toldson (2013) contended, Black males early schooling experiences can shape their future academic experiences and social outcomes later in life. Local level classroom experiences play a much larger role in how we evaluate how Black males see school than what is reflected in the literature, in particular, teacher attitudes, interactions, and perceptions (Toldson, 2013).
Material Type: Unit of Study
This module contains 3 units to support both pre-service and in-service educators in teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse students in the classroom. There are a variety of formats and modalities to present this information. Each unit includes videos, recorded lectures, PowerPoints, guided notes, and research articles to present a wholistic view of the content. The learning is scaffolded by offering application-based activities to allow learners to practice and internalize the content from the first section, and then in the assessment section, the learning is evaluated in a variety of ways that support the learning objectives. There are many supports for both the learner and the student in these units.
