Cultural Competence Continuum Rationale on Transgender bathrooms in school.

In 500-750 words, write an essay that addresses the following:

Discuss your own placement on the cultural competence continuum in relation to the controversial issue you chose to write about in this course.
Reflect on what factors throughout your life resulted in your place on the continuum.
Reflect on where you would like to be on the continuum to be an effective educator who respects individuals with differing personal and family backgrounds, and who has various skills, abilities, perspectives, talents and interests, including any steps you could take to help you get to that point.
Conclude by describing the effect the controversial issue you have chosen may have on you as a future teacher, and on your future students. Offer potential solutions for the issues you identified that you could implement in your future classroom.

 

 

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
