Amalia Mesa-Bains and Judith H. Shulman, The Far West Laboratory (1994)This guide is a companion volume to Diversity in the Classroom: A Casebook for Teachers and Teacher Educators. Specifically, the guide offers the information needed to use these cases in structured professional development experiences.
Because the cases in Diversity deal with highly sensitive topics not ordinarily addressed in teacher education programs, the successful facilitator must acquire certain insights, not just into discussion-method teaching and its implied understanding of group dynamics, but also techniques specific to discussing multicultural material. The first part of the guide aims to equip the facilitator with such insights, particularly with strategies for deflecting hurtful confrontation or explosive interactions. The second part of this guide contains discussion notes for each case presented in Diversity along with a suggested discussion outline. The appendices address interpersonal resistance and active learning.
