In your second reflection assignment, you will identify and explore any potential biases, prejudices, stereotypes, and/or assumptions that you may hold about certain groups of people that may have been uncovered over the course. The point of this assignment is not to judge or induce guilt or shame. Rather, it is to become awareness of these beliefs so that we can challenge them, with the goal of increasing our cultural competence and humility. Indeed, we all hold biases, prejudices, stereotypes, and assumptions about groups of people based on our experiences and what we learn from those around us. However, we must first acknowledge them before we can change them.

For this assignment, you will be presented with a series of statements about certain groups of people and be asked to privately write a word or few words that describe a bias, prejudice, stereotype, or assumption you have or you have heard about the group. This is to be completed privately and not submitted as part of this reflection.

After you have completed the worksheet, please reflect on the process of identifying any biases, prejudices, stereotypes, and/or assumptions you hold or have heard about specific groups of people, including what you have learned about yourself, what it feels like to admit these beliefs, the accuracy of these beliefs, and what you may do to challenge them when appropriate. Integrate what you learned from the video in the Unit 6 Learning Resources titled .

Please respond in a meaningful way to the following discussion question and to one of your classmates’ responses:

Some have argued that learning problems should not be thought of as problems within the child, but rather should be thought of as shortcomings of the childs educational environment. Proponents of this view point to the fact that diagnoses of learning disabilities are very uncommon among children who are home schooled, where presumably the learning environment is tailored to the individual child. Is it possible that learning disabilities are merely a function of the educational system? What impact does diagnosing a child with a learning disability have on their self-esteem? How are they seen by other children? Can diagnosing a child with a learning disability actually be detrimental to their further learning development?

(GRADING RUBRIC)

Each post will be evaluated with the following grading criteria (Both the Initial Reply and a Response will be graded):

Initial Reply to Posted Question

Excellent (5 pts): Demonstrates exceptional preparation: the post provides six to eight sentence answer that makes connections between readings, has thought through implications of them; and offers analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of reading material by helping to take the class further. It provides at least one citation to the assigned readings (either direct quotes or paraphrasing).

Good (4 pts): Demonstrates good preparation: the post provides a five-to-six-sentence answer that knows the readings well, has thought through implications of them; and offers interpretations and analysis of case material (more than just facts) to class. It provides at least one citation to the assigned readings (either direct quotes or paraphrasing).

Adequate (3 pts): Demonstrates adequate preparation; knows basic reading points but shows little evidence of trying to interpret or analyze them; and offers straightforward, often vague, information from the readings, without elaboration. It references the assigned readings, and may or may not include a direct quote, but is weak in overall connection to the work and ides presented in discussion.

Inadequate (1 pt): Demonstrates lack of preparation and motivation: seems as if student did not complete assigned readings; post contains little information from or reference to the readings and are entirely focused on contemporary ideas; and/or contains uncited material (either quotes or paraphrasing).

Adequate (3 pts): Contributes to discussion in vague manner, references readings without being specific; infrequently explains own points; makes broad and unspecific connections; frequently incorporates I agree or I disagree without elaborating on why.
