RP1 Part 1: Exploration and commitment to research one specific marginalized or non-dominant population.
The purpose of this assignment is to meet course outcomes by exploring one’s attitudes and knowledge related to a specific population of students who are part of a marginalized or non-dominant group of people within the American educational system. As part of this process, you will be required to fully explore and expand your knowledge regarding the chosen population, the history of American educational practices as they relate to the population, including state and federal education laws, instances of inequity within the educational system in regards to the population and developing a resource list for parents, teachers and students to best meet educational equity for the chosen population.
Part 1: Exploration and commitment to research one specific marginalized or non-dominant population.
To complete Part 1, answer (in paragraph format) the following prompts in a document and upload the document naming it: Last Name, RP1:
1. Explore the marginalized or non-dominant groups as described in your textbook and from that exploration choose three populations that you might like to further research. Conduct a basic web search about those populations relating to education and then answer the following:
Name the three populations you decided to explore and explain why you chose those particular populations
When doing the basic web search, describe the top three items that came up for each population group including whether the overall tone was positive or negative, there was a lot of information or minimal, your thoughts about what you found and whether or not you felt the information presented a thorough representation of the population groups’ educational experiences.
Choose each of the above population groups and further explore using the BC Online Databases (https://www.bellevuecollege.edu/lmc/databaseslist/) Describe the top three articles that appeared when you searched the population and educational equity for each population group (you may need to adjust your search terms to find articles related to equity and inequity).
