Module 02 Course Project – Select and Research a Group

Your course project is to develop an Anti-Bias Action Plan. For this part of the project, you will select and research a diverse group in your community that has experienced inequality, bias, or discrimination in the past. You will then gather background information about the group, and then submit a report of your findings.

Step 1: Select and research a diverse group in your community that has experienced inequality, bias, or discrimination in the past. Your focus should be on children ages birth through 8 years old in the selected group.

Considerations for selecting your group:

Examples include a cultural group you are interested in or concerned about, a specific language group whose linguistic needs are not being met, children with special needs, a diverse religious or socioeconomic group, a gender/sexual orientation group, and so on.

Step 2: Gather background information about the selected diverse group.

Research and learn more about the diverse group of learners you selected and the group’s experiences with discrimination and bias.
Incorporate two (2) credible resources to examine and compare relevant facts and information about the group you selected. You can use your textbook, credible websites, articles, etc. One must be a resource located through the Rasmussen Library databases.

Step 3: Report your findings in a 2-3 page paper.

Identify the group you selected and explain why and/or how you selected the group.
Describe the group and the form of discrimination it has endured, both in the past and currently.
Describe what type of action (if any) it has taken in the past.
Integrate the facts and information you gathered from your resources to better explain the group’s experiences with discrimination and bias.

Format your paper using APA style, including a title page and a reference page that contains the sources you used. For help with formatting your paper, visit the APA Guide.
