QUESTIONS:
1) The high school administrator in this movie does not want Mr. Escalante to teach calculus at Garfield because she is afraid that, if the students fail, their self-esteem will suffer. Mr. Escalante believes the best way to improve self-esteem is to challenge, not protect, students. Which position do you agree with, and why?
2)Apply three terms from class to themes in the movie.
3)Pick a character from the movie and describe their transformation.
4)What can be done to ensure that all students are provided opportunities to excel?
5)Some believe that almost everyone is capable of graduating from high school and succeeding in college and that it has more to do with desire, hard work, and good study skills than it has to do with intelligence. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
TERMS FROM CLASS:
Racism: the belief that one race is superior to another
Sexism: the belief that one gender is superior to another
Ageism: discrimination based on chronological age
Classism: discrimination based on socioeconomic status, such as income
Silence: You see people being treated in a negative way because of a difference and you say nothing.
Direct intergroup contact: This technique involves increasing contact between groups; for it to be effective, these groups must be roughly equal in status and must allow members to learn that negative attitudes and beliefs are incorrect.
Social learning: This technique involves teaching children and adults to be more accepting; Jane Elliott is an example of a teacher who accomplished this.
Social recategorization: This technique makes different groups work together through the development of superordinate goals.
Cognitive interventions: This technique encourages people to think about individual uniqueness. Ideally, it gets them to examine themselves and become more aware of their own attitudes, values, and beliefs. When people become more aware of their own prejudices, they can take steps to change.
