DIFFERENCES IN TEACHING: INNER-CITY VS. SUBURB Nida Syed Faculty Sponsor: Kathryn Anderson-Levitt Department of Behavioral Sciences, University of Michigan-Dearborn Do teachers in the inner-city have different expectations of their students than teachers in the suburbs? Ethnographic studies of the classroom such as one by Kathleen Wilcox in 1982 suggest they do. Wilcox describes education as “primarily a process of cultural transmission.” For example, schools in a working class neighborhood have different expectations from their students than schools in a professional neighborhood. These differences in expectations translate into an emphasis on different ways of requiring students to complete class assignments. This difference in strategy better prepares the students for occupations they are likely to take part in in the future. Teachers might require students to complete assignments by working in groups or by working individually depending on the neighborhood setting. This analysis is part of a larger ethnographic study of two sixth-grade science classrooms one in an urban inner-city, lower class Detroit, Michigan neighborhood and one in a suburban midupper middle class Dearborn, Michigan neighborhood. Its conclusions are based on what I observed in the classroom during a five day period. I observed each of the two classrooms five times, on five different days, during the first or second class period. This took place for forty-five minutes between the hours of 7:45 am and 9:00 am at each school. I took notes detailing the teacher’s dialogue and the student’s actions for the entire class period. I also interviewed the teacher in each classroom. What I found is that the suburban students primarily completed assignments by themselves or individually, whereas the inner-city students primarily completed assignments by working in groups. I also found that suburban students read out of their textbooks often, whereas the inner-city students, who had no updated textbooks, did not read often. The suburban students did most of their assignments individually. Students did bellwork, wrote definitions to scientific terms in their own words, completed worksheets, and made diagrams describing plant stem anatomy—all on their own. Bellwork was the first assignment of the day, done individually by students at both schools. On a piece of paper, students answered a question related to a topic that they had been learning or would be learning about in class. An example of a suburban and inner-city school bellwork question is List 3 functions of roots and stem and What living things are in our school yard? The suburban school teacher gave her students an assignment in which they used their textbooks to verify the definition of a scientific term and then wrote the definition in their own words. She believed that this exercise increased the breadth of the students’ science vocabulary. She said that with this activity, “We try to introduce more vocabulary and talk more like scientists.” The inner-city school students did not complete such an exercise. Students at the suburban public school completed a worksheet known as directed reading sheet on their own. Answers to the questions on this worksheet could be found in the particular chapter being studied in the textbook. This assignment was aimed at getting students to go over the material in the textbook on their own. The teacher said, “Directed reading sheets force them to go Meeting of Minds 2006 1
