Sociogram Analysis: Miss Cummings’ Third Grade Class The sociogram created for my class includes 21 total numbers to represent 21 total students. Based on the sociogram, the classroom leader is a male student who is classified as Gifted, which means he attends the gifted program with many other classmates. Six students stated number 20 as one of their top three people they would want to work with. Out of the six that chose him, he chose three of them. Next, I would also classify three students who are gifted, numbers 4, 5, and 18, as leaders as well because a high number of students (5 for each) chose to work them. Based on the graphic the isolates are numbers 19 and 6. Number 19 was chosen by no one and only one student, number 19, chose to work with number 6. Even though there are …show more content…

The sociogram also illustrates that this class has two cliques. One clique consisting of the top male leaders and the other consisting of three females, which the top female leader is a part of. However, it can also be seen that members of the cliques do have good connections with other classmates. For example, in the clique with numbers 4, 18, and 20, numbers 15 and 17 chose to work with each member of the clique, and members within the clique, number 18 and 20 chose to work with at least one of them. Then, in the all-girl clique, number 10 chose to work with all the members of that clique and it was reciprocated by two of the students within the clique, numbers 11 and 13. Based on the sociogram it is clear that students classified as gifted typically choose to work with each other. I believe this happens because they are most often required to work together; therefore, they have made friends with each other and understand how they work in a group together. The graphic also shows that typically male students choose to work with other male students and female students choose to work with other female

In addition, some high school students may not like the clique they are associated with and try to fit into a “popular” group. For example, I had another friend that wanted to hang out with the “popular” students. He was invited to a party but there was not alcohol so they told him if he stole a couple of bottles from the nearby CVS, he could hang out with them. They showed him how to steal a bottle of alcohol from the store and told him to do it after. He committed the crime and was able to get away with it because the store policy says that they cannot chase them.

In chapter 6 I learned more on how social influence impacts our everyday relations. There are three levels of social influence and they are by conformity, compliance and obedience. The first section talks about conformity, and it is the lowest level because we voluntarily adapt our behavior to match others. Now there are two variations or reasons outlined by the book to conform to those around us and they are “normative social influence,” and “informational social influence”. The former is our response to feel a greater sense of belonging in the group while the second deals more with us trying to be right by sometimes going with what others say to be right too.

In this chapter, Jo Boaler describes several school systems who do not use “tracking,” filters that separate students into high-level mathematics classes and low-level mathematics classes. She continues with a discussion that reminds us of the harmful effects of “tracking” and the damage it does to students’ mindsets, both those students on the high-level and the low-level track. Ms. Boaler goes on to suggest that heterogeneous groups of students can effectively work together and individual students can develop a growth mindset. The remainder of the chapter focuses on teaching mixed ability groups effectively and includes an in-depth look at how the tasks students complete and the type of instruction they receive can promote growth mindsets.

Most of the of the students like to spend time with the people they like, so in many cases groups have a variety of people in it. An example of this would be a group that has a band nerd, a jock, and a math geek.
