C847 PA S.Carr.docx  C847: Fundamentals of Diversity, Inclusion, and Exceptional Learners  Performance Assessment  B1. ATLAS Video #1: Understanding and Analyzing Current Events  In video case #1, the 7th grade teacher is educating four English Language Learning (ELL) students. The teacher provided the students with a culturally appropriate environment and arranged students with culture in mind. Example of this is that the teacher placed the single male student at the head of the table because of his cultural principle. Having this instruction in a small group setting allowed students to speak freely about their thoughts as they compared the U.S. and Egyptian constitutions (ATLAS, 2015).   B1.A.  The teacher shows consideration of her students cultural and linguistic diversity in this video. The teacher kept in mind that her students are between a level three and four in language proficiency and used this lesson discussion to help students language development. She also used the scaffolding technique to help the students learn new vocabulary during the lesson discussion. The teacher also took the students cultural diversity in consideration during this lesson. The teacher knew that in Hispanic culture that the male is more dominant than the woman, so the teacher placed the only male student at the head of the table to make him feel more comfortable to share his thoughts and ideas.   B1.B.  One specific resource that could be beneficial in this classroom is a Spanish/English dictionary.
