Within my clinical placement I have a total of 9 students. It is a smaller
class because it is used as an extra time during the day for students to catch
up on homework and other assignments. Out of these 9 students there are 6
who are Caucasian, 2 African American Students, and 1 Asian American
student. It is clear that this class is not extremely diverse. Also, all the
students but one are in 9th grade so they are 14 or 15 and there is one
sophomore, who is 15 or 16. As for gender, this class is male dominate
with 7 males and 2 females.
C) How can the racialization of the student(s) you will be working with be
reinforced or challenged by any of his/her/their other demographic
characteristics from the intersectionality graphic?
I think that Bandura’s theory shows that children learn by observing and
the environment they grow up in so this is why I think it would be useful
to discuss their social networks as well as cultural traditions. These are two
things that children will learn from growing up and they will learn by
observing others in their networks and by participating in cultural
traditions. This is how the child will develop their funds of knowledge. I
think that both of these activities rely heavily on observation and that
relates very well to Bandura’s theory.
