Prompt 4

I think that most of the teachers at my school are aware of diverse cultural groups, something that got my attention was a statement that a teacher made about the students, she said that first we have to be like a social worker, what she was trying to said is that this children come from a very diverse culture, they come from a home in which a parent guidance a lot of time is lacking, so if we a teacher are aware of these issues, we know a litter better our student, we will be able to understand them better. I believe that these teachers face the reality of been a teacher, because they will make an impact in the life’s of these children, they have to educate them with the basic of life, most of this material these kids don’t learned at home. Since I’m bilingual I think that I would make a positive diferecence in these kids life’s, been to speak a language that they can comprehend would make their lives a lot easier. Many year ago I was also in a situation in which I didn’t knew the language and it was hard, so I know what they fell and I identify with their culture.

prompt 3

The teachers in my bilingual class are doing a phenomenal job, they are trying new things every day, Miss Vina and Miss Vargas are magnificent teachers which I have been helping for the past few months, since the class is been taught in Spanish some of the techniques these teacher are doing is putting poster about each child country of origin. I found this very helpful because these kids can related to their own culture and the teacher in the other hand will learned more about their students social culture and their identities. I think that the big factor is that these teachers are from Hispanic country and it is very easy for them to identity with these kids and their culture.
