Mark P. Assignment #1

This past week was very interesting for me both in this class on Thursday morning, as well as in Dr. Carjuzaa's Multicultural Education class. On Tuesday in EDCI240 we discussed the boarding schools that were established around the nation in the late 1800's, and basically looked at the negative side of all of it. I thought it was very strange at first, when one of the groups in EDCI320 began their presentation on the boarding schools because they gave the positive side first. I was just about ready to raise my hand and ask "What about all of the de-culturalization and physical abuse that occurred at the schools?" But before I could muster up the courage to, the other member of the group presented the negative side and our class fell fairly silent.

It has been great learning about IEFA though, and I hope that I can help to successfully and positively incorporate it into my classrooms.
