    Many teachers possess a deficit-thinking model, in which they believe that students fail in school due to their own deficiencies, not due to unfair educational opportunities.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Many teachers possess a deficit-thinking model, which means they believe that students fail in school because of their own shortcomings rather than due to unfair educational opportunities. This perspective places the blame on the students rather than considering external factors that may contribute to their academic struggles. This mindset can lead to a lack of support and understanding for students who may be facing challenges beyond their control.

  • 4. 

    The cultural makeup of teachers and students is relatively the same in American schools.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because American schools often have a diverse cultural makeup, with teachers and students coming from various backgrounds and ethnicities. This diversity is a reflection of the multicultural society in the United States.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Overall, educators view changes in the cultural composition of their classrooms as a strength, and have no trouble adapting to diverse students' needs.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that educators have no trouble adapting to diverse students' needs, which is not necessarily true. While many educators may view changes in the cultural composition of their classrooms as a strength, it does not mean that they have no trouble adapting. Adapting to diverse students' needs can be challenging and require additional resources, training, and support. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following characteristics is not a characteristic of a culturally responsive teacher?

    • They are socioculturally conscious

    • They have an affirming attitude toward students with different cultural backgrounds

    • They are committed to act as agents of change

    • They have great sympathy for minority students

    • They are knowledgeable about their students, and use this knowledge to shape their instruction and curriculum

    • They hold constructivist views for learning

    Correct Answer
    A. They have great sympathy for minority students
    Explanation
    The characteristic of having great sympathy for minority students is not a characteristic of a culturally responsive teacher. Culturally responsive teachers should not only have sympathy for minority students, but they should also have an affirming attitude, be socioculturally conscious, be committed to act as agents of change, be knowledgeable about their students, and hold constructivist views for learning. Sympathy alone is not enough to create an inclusive and equitable learning environment.
