Case: Inconsistent Disciplining
I am a student teacher and I have volunteered to participate in a special group of student teachers who are interested in teaching in diverse settings. One of the participants in our first group meeting was telling us about her disciplinary methods. When the white children in her class misbehave she sternly reprimands them because, she believes, they know the rules and they know what they are supposed to do. However, when the seven African American students misbehave, she gives them another chance because she wants them to know she cares. I have to react to this person and perhaps explain to her what the consequences of her action could be. What should I do and say? I am not even sure if her methods are actually good or bad.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would first watch and see if you believe her methods to be good or bad. I would then ask her questions regarding the situation and to dig further into WHY she treats the students differently. I would then ask her if she feels like there could be consequences for her actions, and if she believes that there is a racial discrimination behind her decisions. By shadowing the situation you may get greater insight into how you would react in a similar situation. |

| Comments: I think this is a great approach to this problem. I agree that it would be smart to further question the teacher to discover her motives. I also like the second question asking the teacher if she sees the consequences that could result from her actions. These types of things need to be assessed in these types of situations. |

| Comments: I feel that the first step of this solution is unnecessary because we should already know that her means of disciplining are unethical. |
