Value Bias African Americans

Another form of bias that may be experienced by those from the African American population is value bias. Value bias occurs when an administrator assumes that the individual being assessed values items of the assessment in the same manner as the creator (Taylor and Payne, 1983). This type of bias may occur in the scenario of a child being provided with pictorial stimuli and asked to identify the family members with “father” being the desired response. The child’s response to the adult male in the picture may be uncle or grandfather. Due to the difference in the child’s response and that which was desired, the child may not receive favorable marks for this particular item. With deductive reasoning, we can gather that the assessment creator’s …show more content…

Following these rules for observation will provide a more robust profile of the individual being assessed. Two forms of observational assessments are portfolio assessment and language sampling. Portfolio Assessment A portfolio can be defined as a collection of information and work samples specific to a person (Roseberry-McKibbin-1, 2014). Assessment of an individual’s portfolio can provide information regarding their progress, rate of progress, and or potential needs for additional accommodations (Roseberry-McKibbin-1, 2014). Instead of a snapshot of the skills that they possess, the administrator is provided with the nature of the individual’s skills over a period of time, this information can also be pertinent when monitoring an individual’s response to intervention (RTI) (van Kuelen, et.al. 4a, 1998). Language Sampling Collecting 50 to 100 spontaneous utterances across various speaking partners and low structured settings is an example of observation of an individual through language sampling (van Kuelen, et.al. 4a, 1998). These collected utterances are then used to analyze the components of language. This form of observational assessment can be beneficial in providing an assessor with information regarding a person’s phonological processes, level of vocabulary, and for individuals up to age five years, mean length of utterance (van Kuelen, et.al. 4a, 1998). …show more content…

This form of assessment is beneficial to individuals whose knowledge-based language differs from that of the creator of the assessment tool (Roseberry-McKibbin-2, 2012). It allows the assessor to take environmental variables into consideration when determining if an individual is displaying language differences or language impairments (Roseberry-McKibbin-2, 2012). Taking these environmental differences into consideration is one of the strengths of this assessment model. It does not force those that are being assessed in a category of being impaired because they do not fit into the standard profile that has been identified by the creator of the

Chapter 5 of the Assessment provides detailed information about phonics and the different forms of assessments used to test phonic skills (informal phonics inventory, informal decoding inventory, and z-test). The book provides many sample documents to have a better picture/idea of the different assessments and what they look like. The first assessment mentioned is the Z-test, this assessment exposes if the reader is capable of decoding one-syllable words. An example used in the book is as follows; “a child is given the (/z/ sound) word like zat, the child must recognize the similarities and differences of spelling patters that make up rimes by pronouncing the pseudwords. With this assessment it is important that the teacher/evaluator understands

Americans will. Institutional racism is a type of racism expressed by institutions, or social groups. Even though the Unions rules regarding seniority has nothing to do with race it can still be viewed as a form of institutional racism against African Americans, because the union is majority is white. Therefore whites are going to have more power when it comes to making decisions then what African It’s not fair for African Americans because they are the minority not the majority so their chances of having sonority are slim because there will always be someone in front of them. Also the unions predominantly white so the rule of seniority and ability to make decisions sway in their favor, not the African Americans.

Throughout this semester, SPAA 270 students have learned about five components of language. These components of language will be the focus of my language analysis on Ashlyn, a nine-year-old girl, who is in a regular education classroom. It is significant to recognize and understand if a child is on track with their speech at a young age in order to prevent future complications. After communicating with Ashlyn for over forty minutes, I can easily analyze her speech and decide if the speech is normal for her age. The five components of speech that I studied include syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics and these are all significant in analyzing a child’s use of language.

In this study Clark would show young African American children two dolls, one white and one black, and ask them a series of questions regarding the dolls. Some of these questions included which doll appeared ‘nice’ and which doll appeared ‘mean’ and which doll they felt they resembled most. All of the children chose the white doll as the ‘nice’ one and claimed they felt most like the white doll as well. Once Clark disagreed with the child stating that they actually appeared more similar to the black doll, he or she would become severely upset and throw a tantrum. This test proved how the segregation and differential treatment of African Americans was causing children to associate negative connotations with black people and positive ones white white people (Altman, 2000, p.

I believed that Whites and Blacks were equal however there were no African Americans in my grade school classes from K through ninth grade. There is truth to the assertion that parents’, relatives’ and friends’ negative reactions to people of minority races do send mixed messages to children (Sue & Sue, 2014). I recall that occasionally my father would make negative comments regarding an individual’s ethnicity which demonstrated to me that people could be judged by others based on their ethnic

The Disease of Being Colored Colored, nigger, African American, black, coon, and Negro are all the words that describe my race. These are the words that helped mold me into the woman that I am today. Not all of the words that I have listed are in a respectful manner, but they all mean one thing; A black person. Although all of those names can be thrown towards anyone of the African decedent, often times people do not care to see behind the skin of an individual. In hindsight everyone looks alike when the lights are off, and when we are even dead and buried in the ground.

Through this reading and the documentary movie that we have watched, it is not hard to figure out how both external and internal factors that formed his personalities. The external factor definitely took a vital part of this formation, since the environment back into that time was hard for African American musicians to gain their rights, and there were so many inequalities existed in the society. It affected his personality for sure by having those experiences. Since he had seen those inequalities happening everywhere to his friends and him, he wanted to fight for their rights, and therefore, it shaped his personality in this way as well. However, as the article has talked about how hard it was for African American musicians only play for love

Growing up in an underprivileged neighborhood, I've seen countless things that I’d believe destroyed our once unified black culture. I can ponder on many issues that occurs in my community that I dislike. Issues I disapprove, including: a poor education system, violence, peer pressure, stereotyping, and more. “Negros” are constantly ridiculed because of their acions and it's not acceptable to them nor myself. I'm ready to see a change and for the world to be one.

African Americans have been oppressed for over 340 years, by the white community. African Americans have fought endlessly for their rights to give them justice, but the Clergy believe it to be “unwise and untimely” (P.3). They feel the need to tell African Americans to wait, not considering how harmful it is to them. MLk responds to the Clergymen, by giving reasons on why they can’t wait to have equality and justice. The African Americans have been mistreated by white people for years, and have witnessed first hand the brutality that continues to plague them, “when you have seen hate-filled policemen curse,kick,brutalize, and even kill your black brothers and sisters” (P.10).
