In this first position paper, you will discuss your schooling experiences in relation to the Students’ Multiple Worlds framework set forth by Phelan et al. (1991). In their article, which you are assigned to read during week 4 (but you can read earlier), they describe how students cross family, peer, and school cultures. They posit four crossing patterns. In this paper, you will choose the pattern that most reflects your own experience and then discuss whether or not (and in what ways) the framework can be useful for teachers. Please use your own high school experiences. The paper should be approximately 4 double-spaced pages (12 pt. font). Some questions to consider? How much did my family, peer, and school worlds overlap? If you attended high school in another country, are the patterns the same as those explained in the article? If not, explain. Do you think that other “worlds,” such as religious or political worlds, need to be included in the framework?
