The purpose of this assignment is to meet course outcomes by exploring one’s attitudes and knowledge
related to a specific population of students who are part of a marginalized or non-dominant group of people
within the American educational system. As part of this process, you will be required to fully explore and
expand your knowledge regarding the chosen population, the history of American educational practices as they
relate to the population, including state and federal education laws, instances of inequity within the educational
system in regards to the population and developing a resource list for parents, teachers and students to best
meet educational equity for the chosen population.
Part 1: Exploration and commitment to research one specific marginalized or non-dominant population.
To complete Part 1, answer (in paragraph format) the following prompts in a document and upload the
document naming it: Last Name, RP1:
1. Explore the marginalized or non-dominant groups as described in your textbook and from that exploration
choose three populations that you might like to further research. Conduct a basic web search about those
populations relating to education and then answer the following:
Name the three populations you decided to explore and explain why you chose those particular populations
When doing the basic web search, describe the top three items that came up for each population group
including whether the overall tone was positive or negative, there was a lot of information or minimal, your
thoughts about what you found and whether or not you felt the information presented a thorough representation
of the population groups’ educational experiences.
Choose each of the above population groups and further explore using the BC Online Databases
(https://www.bellevuecollege.edu/lmc/databaseslist/) Describe the top three articles that appeared when you
searched the population and educational equity for each population group (you may need to adjust your search
terms to find articles related to equity and inequity).
