Your Week 2 assignment offers you an opportunity to creatively  present information about a specific cultural group of your choice.   Having this information will help you and your colleagues to better  reach and serve the specific community of learners on whom you choose to  focus.  The cultural group should relate in some way to your local  community where you live or teach. 

Choose an authentic local issue as your starting point for creating  your resource sheet.  For example, Dearborn, Michigan has the largest  percentage of individuals who identify as Muslims of any city in the  United States (Tercero, 2017), so a resource sheet that could be  designed about that population in Dearborn would help teachers,  administrators, and other public school stakeholders to better  understand the unique needs of that specific local population. 

If you need help finding and choosing a local community on which to  focus, contact your instructor to help you brainstorm and look at  specific and current local issues regarding diversity in your area.

Once you have chosen your specific group to focus on, consider the following:

• How could a teacher ensure that these students and families feel  welcomed at their school regarding the school and classroom culture,  procedures, curriculum, and instruction? 
• What would a teacher need to know in order to best reach this  group?  For example, how would you include families in school  activities, communicate with parents/caregivers, and build rapport with  both students and their families? 

Create a 1 to 2-page information pamphlet, infographic, or resource  sheet presenting detailed information to help educators and  paraprofessionals to identify the needs and resources for a specific  cultural group of your choice. Some free design tools include  Piktochart, Canva, and Venngage.

Length: 1-2 pages (or the equivalent in another form)
