Knowledge of students and their community is a critical part of planning
instruction. Conduct some practical research and investigate the students’
background and community in the following ways:
- Neighborhood:
- List the descriptive qualities of the neighborhood.
- Community resources:
- What are resources offered in this community? City?
- Where is the local library? Hours, days, and resources
available to students?
- What other health and welfare resources are available to
students in this area?
- Professional community:
- Who are the people in the school that govern the professional community?
- Who is the superintendent?
- Who sits on the governing board of the school district? What key issues
are they dealing with?
- How is professional development accessed in this district?
