Race+and+Ethnicity

The video titled Race and Ethnicity presented a number of terms and concepts that serve as a beginning when thinking about working with different groups in schools today. I am a firm believer that you can't help others (students, etc.) to "deal with," "work with," and understand each other until you have explored your own HOUSE! Psychology often refers to this as you can't help others clean their house until you clean your own! In other words, do you understand who you are in this big concept?

There's a great quote in the video (that I've heard other places as well) that goes like this: "We all come on different ships, but now we are all in the same boat."

Using that as a jumping off point, talk about the "ship" on which you and your family came and how do you see the "boat" in which you find yourself now!
