I was forced to do things that were out of my comfort zone which led to knowledge that I would not have gained. Walking through Newark made me wonder why I knew so little about it yet live so close. That experience made want to learn more about the community. Overall I enjoyed this project and feel it was worth the time spent because it expanded my horizons on an area I knew so little about.Nick Ferrarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14722955562086855099noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972452899475812327.post-38837378740907326882009-05-10T09:19:00.000-07:002009-05-10T17:52:20.879-07:00inquiry project<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> <!--StartFragment--> </span></p><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%">Why does an achievement gap exist between Hispanic students and other groups? In order to address this question, I did research on the National, State and Local levels. My searching, included, literary sources, statistical data, and hands on contact with Hispanic students and their educators. “Hispanics are the United States’ largest and fastest growing minority group and overall the least educated racial or ethnic group” (McCaffrey, 2007, p.170). They have low standardized testing scores, high dropout rates, and low four-year college enrollment rates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There are many varied factors that contribute to the lagging academic performance of Hispanic students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>To tackle this pressing educational problem, we need to consider effective strategies and behavior modifications, which will help Hispanic students to achieve. In order to address the problems of Hispanic students, we need to interpret the statistical data regarding their performance. In addition, we need to understand the reasons for low performance by Hispanic youths, identify behavior management modifications, discover effective instructional strategies, and create school practices that promote better achievement among Hispanic students.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%">Statistical data indicates poor academic performance by Hispanic students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As the Hispanic population in the United States continues to grow, there is not a proportional corresponding growth in student achievement.

Newark is a prototypical inner city environment that represents a large number of ethnic and racial students. The problems of poverty in Newark, effects it residents. The by-products of poverty, including low income, unemployment, drug abuse, and crime create an environment that negatively impact student academic achievement. Hispanics have the extra burden of needing to conquer the language barrier. In examining the disadvantages confronting Hispanic students I visited the neighborhoods that house Barringer High School and Westside High. In addition, I spoke to students from both schools and interviewed a teacher and an Assistant Administrator of the Superintendant of Schools for the Newark Public School System.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%">My visit to the neighborhoods that house Barringer High School and Westside High School locate in Newark, New Jersey, was very enlightening.

I initiated conversation with several Hispanic students playing soccer at Branch Brook Park, located across the street from Barringer High School. The students were between the ages of thirteen and seventeen and passionate about the game. They interacted with each other in Spanish and seemed reluctant to engage in conversation with an outsider. One student named Carlos was forthcoming and told me that he has become bilingual, but only speaks Spanish at home and that his parents were totally non-English speaking. My conversation with him confirmed the information I had received through research regarding the issue of language. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In order to get an insight into how better to serve the needs of Hispanic students I interviewed a classroom teacher, Mrs. Pamela Savaryn and an Assistant to the Assistant Superintendent of Newark Public Schools, Mr. Gus Della Pia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Mrs. Savaryn believes that the main overriding issue that hinders performance in Hispanic students is the language barrier. The Hispanic minority has the extra problem of learning the English language, while trying to comprehend subject matter. In addition, many Hispanic students have parents that do not speak English and therefore cannot help their children. Non-speaking English parents cannot help with homework and/or help reinforce basic skills needed for success. She believes that in order to tackle the disparity between white and Hispanic student performance rates, we need to perfect the task of teaching English to our non-English speaking students. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%">Mr. Della Pia also confirmed that the language issue is critical in the assessment of Hispanic students. He believes that the Hispanic culture values family and the nurturing of children, but that many Hispanic parents are not able to help or encourage their children academically because of a lack of knowledge regarding the importance of education and because of the language barrier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It is his belief that Hispanic students who learn English at an early age, perform better than those that enter English speaking schools at an older age. He favors the immersion method of teaching students English as part of the curriculum, rather than teaching them subject matter in Spanish. He said that “holding Hispanic students to the same standards as English speaking students forces them to learn faster”. He further said that the key words teachers need to focus on when teaching all students, and particularly minority students are “rigor” and “relevance”. He explained that teachers need to rigorously attack the learning process to adapt to diverse groups and keep learning relevant to the culture and environment of minority students.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%">My research enlightened me to the problems and causes of poor academic achievement by Hispanic students. It also opened up for me many ideas regarding how best to challenge these issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In order to solve the problem of poor performance by minority Hispanic students, we need to understand the possible reasons for the low performance. Understanding the reasons that the problems exist will help create the solutions to the problems. This in turn will strengthen our educational system. Circumstances and environmental factors that surround students impact their ability to achieve academically. Factors including socioeconomic status, culture, and language, all impact learning and achievement.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Socioeconomics effects educational achievement. Many Hispanic students are products of low-income families. They often live in poor neighborhoods, where they attend overcrowded, instructionally inferior, poorly staffed, and under resourced schools. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Because “they are the largest immigrant group and tend to be poor and to be residentially segregated….it is nearly impossible for school districts in Hispanic areas not to be mostly poor, mostly minority, and mostly non-English speaking” (McCaffrey, 2007, p.155). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Minority students frequently attend inner city schools and “receive poor quality education, have fewer high caliber teachers, and have access to fewer resources” (Christie, 2002, p.19).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The conditions inherent in poverty do not leave parents much time to help with homework or encourage the importance of education. It is hard for the work ethic to be encouraged when students living in economically troubled areas see adults around them facing limited employment opportunities and low levels of economic success. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Poverty is not a good breeding ground for learning, nor does it encourage a path to success. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Culture influences education and motivation for achievement. The culture of Hispanic immigrants limits early childhood education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Lack of knowledge regarding educational opportunities, cost factors, and not realizing the benefits of preschool education often, keeps Hispanic children from early education. “While efforts exist to provide children with early education through programs such as Head Start, the majority of Latino children often do not enter schools until kindergarten or even first grade” (McCaffrey, 2007, p.155). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Although Hispanics may recognize the value of education, major emphasis is not put on higher education. “The pressure for a Hispanic male student to get out of school quickly and get married or go to work and help with the family is far greater than anyone who is not a part of the world can imagine” (McCaffrey,2007, p.165).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Hispanic students are often in conflict over time spent on schoolwork and time needed to help out at home. Many Hispanic youths do not believe that remaining in school will improve their futures and there is not enough parental support to promote academic achievement.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Language is also a major factor in the Hispanic students’ achievement rate. “Statistics show that Latino students, particularly those who can’t speak English are lagging behind their peers” (McCaffrey, 2007, p.32). Learning a new language puts an extra burden on Hispanic students. In addition to having to learn English while comprehending subject matter, there is often little help from non-English speaking parents. Non-English speaking parents are not in a position to help their children with homework and/or help them to enrich their reading, writing, and math skills. How best to teach English while teaching subject matter, is an important matter. The controversy over integrating Hispanic students by using bilingual or immersion education continues. A study done in California by the American Institute for Research and West Ed. concluded, “we do not see conclusive evidence that bilingual education is superior to English immersion, and we don’t see conclusive evidence for the reverse” (McCaffrey, 2007, p.151). The successful integration of the growing Hispanic population is linked to the task of the English language instruction.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Despite the adversities facing the education of Hispanic youth, there are effective strategies that can be implemented to improve academic performance. Teachers need to be aware of cultural differences in values and behavior and have to adapt their teaching to those differences. To work effectively with culturally diverse students, teachers require cultural sensitivity. Cultural sensitivity is the awareness of the general problems culturally diverse students experience in school, how cultural differences influence students’ learning styles, how they may cause students to behave in ways that are acceptable in their culture but not in the school, and how these differences may lead students to react in unanticipated ways to behavior management techniques<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>(Grossman, 2001, p.24). When educators do not adapt instruction, students learn less effectively, and are often referred to special education because of supposed learning and cognitive problems. Perhaps, they could be helped using adaptive methods, without needing to be labeled for special education.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Teachers need to make an effort to identify with minority cultures in order to reach minority students. Ninety-two percent of teachers are from the white majority culture. This means that there is a strong chance that teachers will misinterpret their pupil’s culturally based behavior and use classroom techniques that are culturally biased or counterproductive (McIntyre, 2002, p.110). Students whose ethnic or socioeconomic backgrounds are different from their teacher’s may get into trouble if they behave in ways that are acceptable in their homes and communities but not in school (Grossman, 2001, p.21). Understanding students’ cultures will help teachers understand how and why students act and perform as they do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Understanding the culture of students and how that culture impacts students’ ability to learn, is crucial to success in reaching Hispanic students, as well as student from all ethnic and racial backgrounds.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Educators should devise a plan for teaching all students the social behaviors acceptable in school. Teachers also need to be open to examining the causes of perceived misbehavior. For example, Hispanic culture tends to be male dominant and adolescent boys may resist the demands of female educators, therefore cooperation may be gained by making requests instead of demands. Our majority culture places great emphasis on completing assignments in an allotted time period, while many minority groups have a more flexible view of time and may not work quickly. Many teachers use a reward system of gold stars, stickers, or prizes, not realizing that Hispanics tend to be interested in the approval of others, not the material reward. Teachers should use praise and should stress that Hispanic families would be proud of them for work or a deed well done. It is important to recognize that all methods do not work on all students groups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Individualizing teaching will help in reaching diverse students and their needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Education should strive to be meaningful and responsive to students’ needs. Cooperative learning that takes into account the active and emotional needs of Hispanic students could encourage achievement. Teachers should promote teaching that incorporates into the curriculum the everyday concerns of students. Open ended question and cooperative learning gives Hispanic students’ opportunities to discuss and defend their ideas and thus promote complex understanding. “The use of technology to facilitate learning will help Hispanic students become more active in the learning process, and find information or pictures that help them understand” (Padron, 2000, p.3). Educators need to be creative and do what is necessary to get through to all culturally diverse students. More important that subject content, is the ability to motivate students by approaching each student based on the sum total of the environment that helped to create them.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Teachers play an essential role in determining students’ academic success or failure. There are ways to develop a valuable teacher-student relationship that promotes success. All students need to perceive that teachers care, and getting to know students is one way to show this. Getting to know each student as an individual is pertinent because it will help develop a positive rapport that will facilitate and support the student’s learning process. For example, a student having difficulty deciding what to write about for a writing assignment can be encouraged when a teacher knows the student’s interests and can suggest things to write about. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>When there is good rapport, the teacher will be better able to evaluate the best ways to teach each individual.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>The growing number of minority Hispanic students need to be reached and evaluated as individuals. Evaluating the individual strengths and weaknesses of each student is so important. In addition, knowing the culture that contributed to these strengths and weaknesses will help teachers, to help students. Individual conferences and meaningful evaluation systems can help students to feel valued as individuals. “One-on-one conferences can teachers to learn about a student’s personality concerns, attitudes, ambitions and thought processes, and will assist teachers in determining the best way to instruct each student” (Jacobson, 2000, p.124).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>A combination of methods to reach diverse cultures are required to make a positive impact on minority education.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Understanding the reasons for poor academic performance by Hispanic students will help to create the solutions to the problem. Discovering effective strategies and creating school practices that encourage growth in learning for the diverse Hispanic culture is needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In order to accomplish this, a continuous effort needs to be made to understand the culture, in order to help the students of that culture to grow. It is also imperative that the integration of the English language be perfected to take away the burden that the language barrier presents. The closing of the achievement gap between Hispanic students and other groups should be the goal.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> </span><p></p> <!--EndFragment-->Nick Ferrarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14722955562086855099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972452899475812327.post-62774233103139298992009-05-04T12:44:00.000-07:002009-05-04T13:03:59.653-07:00Abstract Summary of Project Findings<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal">“Hispanics are the United States’ largest and fastest growing minority group and overall the least educated ethnic group.” (McCaffrey)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Why does an achievement gap exist between Hispanic students and other groups and how can we as teachers close this gap?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My research was aimed at this critical education problem that the US faces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My study included literary research with statistical data.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In addition, it included first hand contact with minority neighborhoods in Newark and interviews with educators from the Newark school system.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>My statistical research showed that Hispanic students have low standardized test scores, high high school dropout rates, and few four-year college enrollment rates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It also revealed reasons for this poor performance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The most enlightening part of my research took me into the inner city of Newark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I visited the neighborhoods that house Barringer and Westside High in Newark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>While visiting the area I spoke with inner city Hispanic students and interviewed a Newark public school administrator regarding these issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The combination of statistical data and fact, along with first hand exposure of this Hispanic environment, rendered me a new insight into minority education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I learned about the Hispanic weaknesses inherent in minority culture and the possible options to change these weaknesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Improving Hispanic education performance needs to be a goal in US education.</p> <!--EndFragment-->Nick Ferrarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14722955562086855099noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972452899475812327.post-80069278977893871462009-04-17T19:44:00.001-07:002009-04-17T19:51:50.975-07:00Internet Assignment<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:48px;"> <!--StartFragment--> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:17px;"> <!--StartFragment--> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-Trebuchet MS"; font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Turn to the NJRCL report and pay specific attention to the information provided about Essex County, and the concerns, challenges, and recommendations in the report.

Generally, the article discusses how schools are evaluated based on their overall student dropout rate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In addition, it touches on how the high dropout rate, among Hispanic students, impacts their educational, social, and career goals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Specifically, it provides statistical information on the Hispanic high school dropout rate, the distorted views, coming from shortcomings inherent in statistical interpretations, and generational influence on the dropout rate.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in;line-height:200%">Statistics provided from The United States Department of Education show evidence of a much higher dropout rate of Hispanic students over “white” students. The article discusses the methods used by the Department of Education in determining the statistical information. It also shows the changes in the dropout rate over time. Even during times when the overall dropout rate fell, the lower Hispanic rate still remained higher than for other groups. The assertion is that these statistics show that Hispanic students are put at a disadvantage in preparing for adulthood.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in;line-height:200%">After providing statistics regarding the Hispanic high school student dropout rate, the article acknowledges the pitfalls in the accuracy of all the numbers and percentages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The statistics do not take into account that some of the students who are labeled dropouts are recent immigrants who have never attended school in the United States. Estimates from the United States Census regarding the number of Hispanics enrolled in United States schools, alters to some degree the gap between the Hispanic dropout rate and the non-Hispanic white dropout rate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Factors such as language and family of Hispanic students not attending American schools do contribute to poor educational performance.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in;line-height:200%">Although enrollment estimates impact the rate of positive performance rates among Hispanic students, the article addresses the minimal effect that generations have on the Hispanic dropout rate. It shows that regardless of how dropout is defined to include immigrants versus native- born Hispanics, the dropout rate is not that different. With each generation, students may have more of a language and family resources advantage. These generational advantages, however, do not equate into dramatic improved school performance or lower dropout rates.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%">Garcia, O., Bartlett, L.

My father was the “bread winner” and my mother the caretaker. Dads were measured by their success and moms were measured by their sensitivity. I was taught to respect both men and women, however, an extra respect and sense of protection for women was stressed. Roles are changing and both men and women are reevaluating their goals and places in society. The stereotypical roles of gender, however, still remain ingrained, to some degree in suburbia.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Sexuality is addressed in suburbia as a cause for concern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I learned as early as sixth grade, the consequences of sexual activity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Sex affects all cultures and all kids trying to define their sexuality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In suburbia, however, there is an effort to address not just health issues related to sex, but the social and moral consequences of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I grew up viewing different standards for men and women, regarding sexual activity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Some behaviors would be thought of as “cool” for guys, but “cheap” for girls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The stigma of teenage pregnancy is greater for girls than for boys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Although views on sex are changing, there still remains a minor double standard based on gender.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Language in my suburban schools is geared toward basic “proper” English.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I learned “correct” English and was unaware and unexposed to other forms of our own language.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Of course I learned slang, but for the most part, it was reserved for only certain audiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It was okay to speak in slang with friends or at home, but polite language was required for most arenas including schools, workplace, church, and all respectful gatherings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Speaking correctly with respect for others was a part of my suburban upbringing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Starting in sixth grade all students were required to take a second language.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I chose Spanish because it was the most widely used language in the world (besides English) and because my grandparents speak Italian, which is a similar language.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Religion in my town growing up was used as a means of moral reinforcement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I grew up as a Roman Catholic and attended Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes as well as church every Sunday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My family was not particularly religious, but I now realize that they encouraged religion to encourage goodness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Suburban parents seemed to frequently see religion as a means of instilling fear as a consequence of misbehavior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Religion is also seen as a way to instill the values and morals of society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I attended Immaculata High School in Somerville, NJ, which is a Catholic school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We were required to take a religion-based course each semester as well as attend church every other Thursday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The exposure that I was subject to informed me more about my religion and strengthened my faith in God.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>My suburban culture has impacted my views.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I have however, expanded my life experiences to reach out beyond the limits of suburban thoughts and ideals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I lived with my club soccer team in Peru, a third world country during the summer of my sophomore year in high school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I also attended college at the University of Tennessee, which gave me an understanding of life in a small southern city.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In addition, I studied abroad in Italy for a semester during my junior year in college.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>These experiences enlightened me about the world beyond suburban America.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>I grew up in the “bubble” of suburbia, but I am interested in understanding life beyond it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My parents were successful and gave me all the benefits that come from being part of the upper middle class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Their parents however, were immigrants, who taught me some humility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As much as I have inhaled the suburban life, I have always had an interest in understanding other ways of life.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Many factors have shaped the suburban culture that I grew up in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>These factors influence what I think of myself, how I relate to others, how successful I might become, and how I will perform in the classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I know I need to be open-minded, and making an effort to understand other cultures will help in teaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Finding a common ground between cultures will hopefully make me into the teacher I hope to be.</p> <!--EndFragment-->Nick

High School Rankings and LocationBelow is a link for the bottom ranked public high schools in New Jersey.<br /><a href="http://www.schooldigger.com/go/NJ/schoolrank.aspx?pagetype=bottom10">http://www.schooldigger.com/go/NJ/schoolrank.aspx?pagetype=bottom10</a><br /><br />Below is an article on the number one ranked public high school in new jersey.<br /><a href="http://njmonthly.com/articles/towns_and_schools/highschoolrankings/millburn-high-school-ranks-best-in-nj.html">http://njmonthly.com/articles/towns_and_schools/highschoolrankings/millburn-high-school-ranks-best-in-nj.html</a><br /><br />The reason I bring this up is because three schools in Newark made the list for worst in state. Dayton, Avon, and Martin Luther King.<br />The second article discusses Millburn High School (my home town) and how great its school system is. These schools are too close for such a discrepancy. How does this happen?<br /><a href="http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Millburn&1s=NJ&2c=Newark&2s=NJ">http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Millburn&1s=NJ&2c=Newark&2s=NJ</a><br /><br />As you can see these schools are a mere 7.5 miles apart. I grew up 7.5 miles from Newark yet have only been in the center of Newark twice.

It is obvious that the physical environment helps to create and determine whether schools are urban, suburban, or rural. Although there are numerous factors that impact in particular, our urban schools, some seem to stand out more than others. I see the major influences that shape are urban schools to be history, culture, and government.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Our history of racism has always and continues to impact urban schools. Urban schools are made up in large numbers by black students who have been and still are clouded by a history of racism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Slavery, race segregation in the schools after the Civil War, and failure to desegregate the schools after it was ordered by the Supreme Court, all still shape our urban schools and how we view urban schools. Both Fruchter and Anderson and Summerfield view history as a major factor influencing urban schools.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Fruchter discusses at length the history of the failure of America to desegregate even after the 1954 Supreme Court Decision Brown vs. The Board of Education, ordered desegregation of schools. He asserts that “what has resulted are urban school more segregated than when Brown litigated, and a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>race-based achievement gap that doom millions of poor students of color to inadequate education and limited futures.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It seems to me that the intent to desegregate was there, but it was never fully implemented, creating segregation, not by law, but a failure to enforce desegregation. Those who were opposed to integration, fled to the suburbs so that geographically their children would not be exposed to racial integration planned in the inner cities. Somehow the will of the racist minded has kept segregation alive in the schools .The very nature of segregation has contributed to our failure in effectively educating poor inner city black students. We tend to blame the failure of urban schools on the students and on poor physical conditions of the schools, rather than blame the effects of a history of racism. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Anderson and Summerfield discuss the historical myths regarding urban schools, which impact the way we view them. They are critical of the historical concepts that perpetuate the idea that rural and suburban schools are superior to urban schools. They refer to the negativity of describing rural schools as “natural”, suburban schools as “successful models”, and urban schools as “artificial” and not the “norm”. These and other critical labels regarding urban schools have historically helped to create the negative perception about urban schools. This is not so different from students who are labeled bad early on and proceed to live up to the expectations imposed on them. If they are told often enough that they are bad, they are bad. There is no doubt that urban schools are ridden with problems. There are however, many myths created that make matters even worse and help to create a perception of negativity. This perception impacts educational policies and programs and shapes the ability to reform urban education.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Urban culture reflects our history of racism and helps to shape our urban schools. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%">Black students have been robbed of their historical culture and have been forced to replace it with their urban culture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Fruchter quotes Randall Robinson, “you cannot rob people of language, culture, mother, father, the value of labor- all of that –without doing damage to the people.” Without roots to respect, how can black students respect themselves, let alone have a respect for learning. The schools have failed in motivating and teaching inner city students. With their culture being stifled and the constant reminder of their inferiority based on years of racism, they have been forced to develop their own urban culture. Our educational system seems to view them as a separate group, but does not recognize their separate cultural past. They are expected to conform to the ideals of a culture that has rejected them. Schools are trying to teach black students using the standards of the primary American culture, with little regard for their heritage or their new found urban culture. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>To me this translates into a lack of pride for black students and creates behavior reflective of what black students have come to think of themselves. The urban culture that they have built in order to survive, impacts their schools and their entire educational experience.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Government policies and programs contribute to shaping urban schools. They determine many factors regarding school funding, teacher certification, curriculum, testing and graduation requirements, and measurements of accountability. It is commonly perceived, with criticism, that urban schools receive more wasteful government spending than rural and suburban schools do. Anderson and Summerfield point out that in some cases this is a myth, and not totally based truth. The intent of the government is to fund and provide fair an equal education to all students. In reality, government policies have failed in urban centers. They have as Chubb and Moe in Fruchter’s book states “imposed universal controls on all schools which eliminate the school-level autonomy critical to educational effectiveness”. Government policies and funding are meant to shape schools positively, but I do not think that their impact on urban schools has not been successful.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Federal, state and local governments, cultural values, and history all influence urban schools. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The goals of the government to give fair and equal education to all students have not and are not always met. The cultural values of urban student, rooted in a history of racism are often in conflict with the governments goals for education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><o:p> </o:p></p> <!--EndFragment--> <p></p> <!--EndFragment-->Nick Ferrarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14722955562086855099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972452899475812327.post-71780029380033437302009-02-02T15:38:00.000-08:002009-02-04T21:08:53.469-08:00Movies and PerceptionsUrban:<div>Dangerous Minds</div><div>http://youtube.com/watch?v=9G6ey1Vdj_Q<br /></div><div>This movie is about a white female from suburban america played by Michelle Pfiefer who is hired as an english teacher in an inner city school mid year.

The lone latino student seems to stand out. The uncle of the main character (Uncle Rico) is a door to door salesman who is holding on to his football days at the local high school in the town that he hasn't left. Napoleon the main character lives on a small farm and all the homes sit on big areas of land. The teachers seem uneducated and all from a similar place.</div>Nick Ferrarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14722955562086855099noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972452899475812327.post-19493177055849582982009-02-02T10:53:00.000-08:002009-02-16T09:45:01.581-08:00Urban Schools<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><!--StartFragment--> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%">Teaching in the inner city is a special challenge. Urban schools are a part of the urban culture. The economics, along with the social and moral values of this culture, impact education. In order to teach effectively in this environment, I think I would need to better understand the urban way of life. Success as an inner city teacher, would be based on my beliefs regarding urban centers, how these beliefs would effect the student/teacher interaction, and the ideals that will shape the type of professional, I hope to be.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>I view America’s urban centers as cultures within a culture. I tend to have views and beliefs regarding inner cities and those living there, based on what I have seen through the media (i.e. urban based movies/TV shows, TV network news, newspapers) and what I have learned from family and friends as I grew up. My personal experiences with Urban America have been limited because I grew up in a suburban neighborhood; however, I have had experience with inner city students on various athletic fields. These experiences gave me a negative image of urban education because the student athletes, often acted overly aggressive, were disrespectful to authority, were unsportsmanlike, and were lacking parental support. In addition, their school facilities seemed run down, abused, and neglected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There was an excessive amount of police officers controlling the athletic event, which led me to believe that fighting and poor behavior were common. Preconceived ideas that I learned early on in life, along with my limited exposure to the inner city, have allowed me to see Urban America as overcrowded, dirty, lacking in services and amenities, and unsafe. Persistent stereotyping has allowed me to see Urban Americans as minorities who are low in intelligence, lacking in ambition, drug abusive, violent, prone to crime, and sexually promiscuous. Although some of these beliefs may be grounded, little thought has been given to reasons for the conditions that have caused them. Ingrained prejudices that I have developed about urban youth may get in the way of effective teaching. Some of what I think I know about urban life, and urban youth in particular, is learned and assumed, without a clear and realistic understanding. Without actually living in a city environment, or making a conscious effort to really understand it, I may have made judgments that are not always totally accurate. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I have come to realize that economic conditions of many families living in the inner cities have a direct impact on education. Poverty or near poverty is a common misery that leaves little room or time for encouraging education. Frequently, kids grow up in broken homes or homes with multiple families, where the household income is very low. These low-income families spend a major part of their time and energy just trying to survive. Adults are often absent, because they are struggling to keep the family fed or struggling to numb the effects of life’s hardships. There is little time to spend on encouraging learning through reading, homework, or any other educational enrichment. Education, for the sake of learning or for upward social and economic advancement is just not a priority. When basic physical and emotional needs are not being met, educational needs become secondary. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>It seems to me that the social values that are bred in poverty do not encourage education. If the financially burdened home environment does not show evidence of the rewards of learning and respect for the work ethic, how can these ideals be valued?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As poverty consumes, there is little thought of the value of learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This translates into a lack of respect for teachers, administrators, and classmates. Regard for school property, educational materials, and school pride is missing. If the home does not place importance on respect for education, children can not respect the social and moral values encouraged by the educational system.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>In addition, I think moral values inherent in the impoverished inner city do not reflect the values stressed through education. Perpetual failure of achievement among urban youth, contributes to a lack of self worth and pride. Often these kids have either have no role models or poor role models to look up to. Moral guidelines and direction can being missing. Problems far greater than studying are solved with violence, which translates into a lack of respect for human life. When kids have no respect for their families, friends, themselves, or even human worth, it is hard to have respect for the ideals of education and success. In order to survive, they often try to solve problems by using violence, rather than reason and responsibility. The social and moral values of society that are stressed through education, frequently do not find their way into the minds and hearts of troubled inner city students. These values do not ring true in their homes. Their environment forces them to live for the moment, without regard to future consequences. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>I realize that in order to teach in an urban environment my beliefs and a realistic understanding regarding the moral and social values found in the economics of Urban America are crucial to effectiveness. The elements of urban life greatly influence students and the learning process. As a teacher, I must recognize the need to understand the environment of the students I will be a teaching, in order to succeed. Teaching methods, techniques, materials, and most of all the teacher/student interaction needs to be varied, and take into account the needs and environment of the students. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>My beliefs concerning urban center teaching will help determine the teacher/student relationship and influence the type of classroom I will create. If I have a realistic understanding of the dynamics of inner city life, I can adapt my teaching to hopefully reach my students. While working with fellow teachers, a school environment can be created that works towards reaching students through understanding the world through the students’ eyes. A classroom can be made to address individual needs and strive to motivate all students. The single most important element in the classroom is the ability of a teacher to motivate beyond individual problems. Course content and educational materials are not as important as generating an interest in learning and taking pride in achievement. In order to have an impact, I believe I need to strive to do what it takes to get through to students, based on the students’ background and frame of reference, rather than a rote method of teaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Understanding how environment impacts students’ educational performance, I can hopefully be successful in attaining individual student growth. Striving to make a difference in each student’s life makes teaching, not just a job, but a profession that aims at helping students from all backgrounds in becoming contributing citizens in a free society.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>I want to be the type of professional that regards teaching as an important responsibility. When teaching urban youth, I would need to look beyond the overt problematic individual behavior, to the causes of the behaviors. I have to shun stereotypic assumptions that might get in the way of the goals for achieving success in reaching all students. By assuming the responsibility of judging students by the sum total of who they are and how their environment influences them, I can hope to break through and inspire students to learn and achieve, in spite of the obstacles.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Setting goals for the type of teaching professional I hope to be, striving for student/teacher interaction based on knowledge of the student’s environment, and having a clear understanding of the students’ culture can help make me a good teacher. The challenges of teaching in an inner city go beyond course content, textbooks, and educational materials. They involve having a realistic insight into the problems of urban youth, and reaching beyond these problems. Urban students need to be understood, in order to be motivated and taught. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><o:p> </o:p></p> <!--EndFragment--> <p></p> <!--EndFragment-->Nick Ferrarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14722955562086855099noreply@blogger.com2
