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!)
Especially in lower elementary grades, I believe that it important that students learn how to cooperate and work with others, who may or may not be different from them. It is important for the teacher to create a classroom environment that fosters acceptance and appreciation for others. One way to achieve this is by having the students frequently work with partners or small groups for various activities, each time with different students. This will help students learn to work with one another and hopefully they will begin to see past a culture or color of skin. |

| Comments: This is a awesome solution and potentially very effective. I think the utilization of group projects would encourage students to work together and maybe help break the ice with some hesitation of being friends with "outsiders". |
