Group Differences Forum


What did you learn during our forum that you didn't know before?
     From this forum I learned of the different ways that researches categorize people with disabilities. I had also never realized that there are people who are proponents of eradicating special education.

What would you have liked to learn more about?
     I would have liked to learn more about integrating ELL students in the classroom, and how data corresponds to stereotypes we believe about different minority groups.

How do you think the information presented in the forum will help you in your classroom?
     The common thing I noticed within the overall discussion is that with all of the issues discussed  it is important for us, as professionals, to remember to be aware of how different all of the students in a classroom are.

What could have been done to help you learn more?
     It would have been helpful for us to have more of a focus as a whole class. This way we could go more in depth with the particular subjects.

What suggestions do you have about the forum (changes I should make, articles to pitch or to keep, topics that should be discussed that we did not cover?)
     I thought that overall the forum went really well, and there was plenty to discuss. The one change I would make would be to limit the subjects discussed so that they could all center around a common theme.
