One was the experience of working in small groups on class assignments. In fact, all three pairs identified group work as a crucial opportunity that allowed them to meet and get to know someone outside their typical circle of friends. Students also spoke about belonging to a community that honors diversity. Unlike the high school I attended, the school where I teach views diversity as an important component of students’ learning.
Helping students from rural Mexico feel comfortable in your classroom - Connecting with... - 1 views
-
Children from rural Mexico may frequently feel uncomfortable in the American classroom environment. For starters, students may have grown up playing only with their siblings and cousins.
-
if a student is attending an American school for the first time, it may also be the first time he or she is surrounded by a different culture, language, food, and set of expectations for behavior. This can make a child feel very nervous, out of place, or shy.
-
the definition of a good education, or una buena educación, held by Mexican parents is far more comprehensive than the dominant American definition of a good education. For Mexican parents, the term una buena educación is a term used to refer to the broad education of a child rather than the solely the schooling of a child. In fact, the term in Spanish meaning “well-educated” is synonymous with the term ser gente decente, or “to be a good person.” A good education serves as the foundation for all other learning and instills in children a sense of moral, social, and personal responsibility. This includes teaching a child how to treat elders with respect, behave properly, and become a person of good moral standing.

Empathic Education: The Transformation of Learning in an Interconnected World - Comment... - 8 views
-
Learning becomes less about pounding facts into individual students' brains and more about how to think collaboratively and critically. To be effective, collaborative learning requires mutual respect among all the players involved, a willingness to listen to others' perspectives, being open to criticism and a desire to share knowledge, and being responsible for and accountable to the group as a whole.

Powerful statement that includes being respectful to others. Lifelong learning skills!

This article really drove home the idea again for changing our education system to adapt to the times. The factory system connection and the way different ideologies influenced our teaching is very powerful. We need to be setting critical thinking skills at the forefront of our objectives.
