Case: Iranian student
I was a paraprofessional for a second grade class a few years ago. Since it was basically a military town, many of the students had military parents. One of the students in our class was Iranian. He spoke perfect English, but he and his parents had thick accents. His mom wore traditional Iranian clothing, but the student didn't. He wore what all the other kids wore: blue jeans and t-shirts.
When the school year started, I noticed that the other kids stayed away from the Iranian student. The teacher tried to get the students to interact with each other, but it was no use. Looking back, I wonder if it was the student's personality or his culture that the other kids tried to stay away from. How could a teacher get students to give the Iranian student a chance? How could we get second graders to make friends with everyone?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think I would do some teacm building activities but also have that student bring in items that describe his/her culture for show and tell. ALl kids like show and tell and this would make him "cool" in the eyes of the children. THey would all want to find out more about him and his culture after they got to know him through some of his toys and cultural things. |

| Comments: I like this solution because I think it would help the children to see that the Iranian student is just another kid. Team building activities will force the students to work together without them even really thinking about it. It may also be helpful for the class to discuss different cultures and include the Iranian culture so the students can learn from it and not assign stereotypes. |
