- Garcia: The teachers assistant speaks fluent Spanish and English. She does mix Spanish and English from time. In a school with a non-white majority this is valuable.
- Johnson: Books like "Amazing Grace" and "The Name Jar" are examples of students being taught that being different is not wrong and to not treat others differently for being different and to not feel bad about being different.
- Kliewer: A student in the class has a mental disorder and the it has been normalized to the other students. Because of this students don't judge them or make fun of them for their disability.

The teachers assistant in my classroom also speaks Spanish with the kids sometimes
ReplyDeleteHi Robert,
ReplyDeleteI see Garcia, Johnson, and Kliewer being relevant to your site. It would help me and also you in your presentation to think of a few stories or moments that "show" and not tell how these authors are relevant. Are there stories you can think about where you saw the teacher mixing Spanish and English? How did this function for students in the room? Why is this valuable? Can you "show" this in a story? In the same way, I wonder if you can show how students do not judge the student with a disability in your class. How does the classroom look to this student, if at all, for insights/special skills or abilities?
