In Chapter 12, Wardle (2013) summarizes the important characteristics of a culturally relevant teacher. Use this information as a guide or resource throughout this assignment to help inspire your thinking as you apply your knowledge of culturally relevant pedagogy toward specific solutions to problems facing a teacher with a very diverse student population. This exercise provides excellent practice over the application of culturally relevant principles in the design of effective instructional solutions. You will need to design such instructional solutions within the Final Project, so it is very important to practice such skills here. Specifically, for this assignment, you will view a brief video taken with a cell phone by a student in a high school social studies class. Student “Jeff Bliss” Mad at Teacher at Duncanville High https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iflIOklflrg&feature=youtu.be(Bliss, 2013) documents a meltdown Bliss experienced during his World History course at Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas.

This week’s assignment focuses on your analysis and evaluation of an actual problem observed in a Texas high school social studies classroom. Video footage was captured from a cell phone that depicts a very brief, heated interchange between a student and his teacher. Closer examination of the classroom environment and the student’s complaints reveal quite a bit about the nature of the instructional experiences designed. You will analyze the situation and submit a brief evaluation for other students in the class to review.
