The connection between liberation teaching and other socially responsive education practices.

a. Record an observation of when a teacher intervened to halt stigmatizing behavior that seemed to be for reasons of cultural, racial, gender, ability, or behavior differences. Which of these factors seemed to trigger the stigmatizing behavior? How did the teacher respond to each of the children involved? Comparing the teacher’s response to the text, what have you learned about liberation teaching? Relate what you learned to one of the other socially responsive education practices.

b. Interview a teacher about an experience of stigmatizing behavior in the class the teacher thought was due to cultural, racial, gender, ability, or behavior differences. What did the teacher do? What was the result? Record the interview and compare your findings with the text regarding the practice of liberation teaching. Also relate what you learned to one of the other socially responsive education practices.
