A Closer Look at Cultural Groups
This is a wonderful website discovered by a classmate about taking a closer look at cultural groups. You can read about these groups:
*African Americans
*Arab Americans
*Asian Americans
*Central Asians
*Hispanics/Latinos
*Muslims
*Native Americans
*Pacific Islanders
*South Asians
You may not know it, but culture has a HUGE effect on how students do in school. In fact, knowing some things about a "problem" student's culture just may help you find what the "problem" is and/or how it's being caused.
