https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky An attempt to describe my point of view en-us 2016-09-13 19:17:44 UTC 2016-09-13 23:12:04 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Prizecup.png paolaspinelli71 https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123598420 There are some points to bear in mind in dealing with multiracial people in your classroom, working as a teacher. Monoracial people typically encounter correct views about their race from others. Multiracial people,however, encounter different views about their race depending on the situation. As a result, multiracial people may regard race as a less visible aspect of the self that they hope others will
verify during social interactions. Multiracial people should therefore value others’ accuracy and general comprehension about their race more than monoracial people.]]> 2016-09-13 19:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123598420 paolaspinelli71 https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123598934 It is so important to understand that any kind of diversity, as well as racial, cultural, linguistic - in terms of origins or acquired habits is to respect and to learn more about. The point of view I am trying to underline is "how can you be of any help for the mutual integration?" And, speaking it up, encourage students to give some real actual examples. I hope to inspire the most reluctant ones to find their own way to integration.]]> 2016-09-13 19:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123598934 paolaspinelli71 https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123599237 In order to better understand my classroom, I always ask them to fill in an anonimous form on our new multicultural environment. Why should
only multiracial  people value interaction partners
who are accurate about their racial backgrounds? Although encountering
accuracy may be positive for multiracial and monoracial people alike, 
it is important to consider the distinction between
positive affect and self-verification in order to understand multiracial
and monoracial individuals’ reactions to accurate racial categorizations.]]> 2016-09-13 19:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123599237 paolaspinelli71 https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123600061 I have suggested that multiracial people are more likely than monoracial people to value accuracy about their race because "race" is an aspect of the self about which multiracial - but not monoracial - people seek verification from others. Perceivers’ reactions to the racial backgrounds of multiracial people tend to be unpredictable, so targets should always value accurate judgments.
I am interested in self-verification, in particular,
and can predict that accurate perceptions about race cause only
multiracial people to feel that their self-verification needs will be met during social interactions.]]> 2016-09-13 19:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123600061 paolaspinelli71 https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123600630 I aim to examine whether self-verification tends to enhance multiracial individuals’ interest in interacting with the others.
Perceptions of how to meet self -verification results comes into evidence during the upcoming interaction.
Given that monoracial people can predict, with 
an extremely high degree of certainty, how others perceive their race, we do not expect monoracial people to perceive accurate others as likely to meet their self-verification needs. After all, race does not represent an aspect of the self about which monoracial people seek and need verification. Also, monoracial people expect heightened interest in interacting with accurate others.]]> 2016-09-13 19:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123600630 paolaspinelli71 https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123601591 I work in Italy as a secondary high school teacher. I work with students from different cultural backgrounds and often severe social and cognitive problems. In my modest approach to our learning group, I'd like to share some impressions of mine about how my students rely on and debate on multicultural and new millennium society topics.]]> 2016-09-13 19:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/paolaspinelli71/gurqwx5cssky/wish/123601591
