Overview
Discussion Forum (DF) is a way for you to engage with your classmates about the course content. It is a collaborative student-centered strategy, and, again, all students are expected to be active and make effective comments that raise overall level of discussion. Each week, students are required to read and discuss a selected article/ video in order to establish a connection between these articles and course various topics—connect your writing to your course material, and incorporate relevant concepts/theories from your readings and class experiences. Throughout the semester, students are required to complete 8 DFs, and each DF is worth 15 points. In order to get full credit for each discussion, you will need to post thoughtful and well-written responses, and also respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.
Your posting must be completed BEFORE the start of the class session.
Be sure to incorporate relevant concepts and theories from the week’s reading (i.e., textbook) to support your ideas and thoughts.
Objectives
Incorporate multiple perspectives to the discussion of content; and reflect upon the implications of diversity on teaching and learning.
Discuss critically the role of cultural events in teaching and learning
Examine some common teaching practices in the classroom
Recognize the importance of exploring the meaning behind cultural holidays and traditions
DF Directions
Read the following article: ” Heroes and Holidays”,
Gorski, P. (2012). Stages of multicultural curriculum transformation. Multicultural Curriculum Reform. EdChange project. Retrieved from Canvas: http://www.edchange.org/multicultural/curriculum/steps.html
In addition to the Gorski’s (2012) article, make sure to connect your answers to your textbook (see page 337). You may use previous Chapters, e.g., Chapter 3 page # 63 and Chapter 4 page # 102)- Use the Curriculum Critically
Reading Response:
Based on your reading, the most interesting thing I read from this article was… (and explain why).

Why do so many teachers and teacher education programs utilize the “Heroes and Holidays/Tourist” approach to Multicultural Education?
What are the potential pitfalls of using the “Heroes and Holidays/Tourist” approach?
When highlighting a specific cultural holiday, how do you select the right culturally responsive strategies and materials to enhance your students’ knowledge, interest, and respect for the cultural group being featured?

Format
You need to divide your response into paragraphs for easier reading. Answer each question separately and use the question as the heading for each answer (or, you may just write e.g., Question# 1 and then write your answer).
For any DF, you need to post your answers only, based on the week’s readings; therefore, you don’t need to upload any Word document. You only need to upload a document when you have an assignment/paper.
Post & Respond
DF Post: Read carefully the directions of your weekly DF included in the related module. You need to reflect upon and/or answer related article/video questions and post them on CANVAS. Post your DF as early as possible in order to allow your classmates adequate time to respond to it (check the due date for clarity). Your response(s) to your classmates’ discussion assignments should be completed within 48 hours after the assignment’s submission deadline. For example, if a certain DF is due at midnight on Tuesday, then your ONE response to your classmate’s comment is due by Thursday @ midnight (11:59 pm).
DF Response: Once you have posted, you need to read how your classmates responded, pick at least one post to respond to with a thoughtful comment. Postings and responses should be directly connected to course readings. Please remember, it is not a convincing argument to simply say things like: “I agree” / “I disagree” or ” I like” without explanation. You need to make your point of view clear and provide detailed comments/responses.
Making Connections
Be sure to incorporate relevant concepts and theories from the week’s reading. You need always to connect your writing to your course readings to support your ideas and thoughts.
In addition to your textbook, you need to cite at least one reference directly related to the DF.
Any sources of information that are referred to in your discussion should be referenced . If you use an outside source, be sure to cite it.
Do not to use direct quotes excessively; you need to paraphrase and use your own words to summarize the content and then make your assertions (use APA in-text citation )
