Hello Pathways Participants
Now that we have a couple of weeks of content to draw from, I want to start posting questions on the main blog site and have you respond on your own blog sites. These prompts are meant to provide each of you with an opportunity to further reflect on our coursework, our school visits, and our cultural visits. I plan to add a new prompt every couple of days that addresses each of the main themes that we're focusing on. Our first prompt is below. Please answer this prompt on your own blog site, and give it the title "Socio-Economic Status and Education."
Thinking about our visits to Holmes Elementary, Riverfront Farms, Global Neighborhood and the Refugee Parents Panel and what we've been discussing in our academic classes, what did you discover about how socio-economic status and poverty affects students' ability to be successful in school? In what ways is this similar to your home country? In what ways is this different than in your home country? As an educator, how do you understand your role in assisting students from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds to be successful in school?
We all look forward to your responses. Please feel free to view one another's posts and comment on what is written.
