This week, the class was really busy working on real life problem solving. Our group is working on the interaction between general education students, and special education students. While working on how to survey the students and teachers, we really needed to humble ourselves with what we were doing.
Our group is doing the most sensitive subject in the class. It can be really easy to offend someone with how we ask a question and talk about the subject. I think all four of us needed to realize that we really don't know the whole story, and we needed to rely on extra help and advice in how to approach certain ideas.
When the students we survey ask what we mean. I learned that we need to stand up for the special education students, and not act like we are interrogating them and making them feel worthless. Instead, we need to approach sensitive subjects with humility in a way that we won't offend anyone involved, or on the sidelines of the subject.
