The Equity Theory Of Staff At Marshall Metro High School

206 Words1 Page

The equity theory focuses on a person’s “perception of fairness” (Kinicki & Williams, 2013, p. 385) and how they are being treated in comparison to other people they work with. The staff at Marshall Metro High School felt as though they were being treated unfairly compared to other school’s, due in part to the “data collection and entry requirements” (Kinicki & Williams, 2013, p.406) that were set by the school's district members for staff to keep up with all troublesome episodes that took place on school grounds. Expectancy theory according to Kinicki and Williams (2015) “Suggests that people are motivated by two things: 1) how much they want something and 2) how likely they think they are to get it” (p.387). The program that Marshall Metro

    In the article, “Savage Inequalities: Children in U.S. Schools”, by Jonathan Kozol, discusses the inequalities that exist in class differences. Money is spent more in wealthy areas than in the poor or low class areas. The schools located in the wealthy areas are funded more and receive more supplies and better teachers. The schools in the not-so-wealthy areas do not have the best teachers and they need better teachers than the students in the wealthy areas. Kozol displays how schools are still segregated as they were in the past.

    Though Tatum criticizes this theory as “ineffective”, I find that it can still lead to improvements. Taking the process-oriented theory and applying it to mindsets, people are more likely to learn if they are focused on how to get the answer, rather than goals of simply what the answer is. So, if process-oriented mindsets are ideal in classrooms, process-oriented programs can be beneficial in affirmative action also. To explain this reasoning, if a workplace is focused on making standards the same for everyone through a fair process, the outcome will lead to candidates hired based on their qualifications and not on meeting a “goal”. Tatum critiques this by saying not everyone is given a fair chance because those in minority groups are not awarded the same opportunities, therefor leaving them disadvantaged from the start.

  • Inequalities In The 1954 Brown V. Board Of Education Cases

    Inequalities have always existed in society. These inequalities are often perpetuated through education. While the United States Supreme Court supported desegregation of schools and struck down the idea of “separate, but equal” in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education cases, there still exists many inequalities within the United States educational system today for minority races and people of the lower economic classes. Ann Ferguson in her article “Bad Boys” discusses punishment practices in schools and the detriment these practices provide as they resemble incarceration. Conley in his article “Education” discusses education acting as a sorting machine and the tracking of students.

    Everyone has an unconscious bias about race, and other physical attributes and as a result, the work world is also affected by the biases (Paige Daniels). We live in a society that values race and the way people look over hard work and dedication. In my passage journal, I considered which statements on the list I identified with and explored and why that is so. I originally chose this article because I found I was able to relate to a majority of the statements McIntosh listed, but not all of them. People are oppressed due to race and other physical attributes, but I think that one’s culture also has a large affect on how they are judged and treated.

    Factors that contribute to privilege, power, and oppression include who has power, how is that power being used, and what social groups are being affected. This year I began working in Target’s return department where employees are supposed to, what feels like stereotyping, call out shady and weird-acting people who are most often appearing to be houseless or on drugs. Because of certain types of individuals that frequent our story in Janzen Beach, we do not return certain products without proof of purchase. However, one day we made an exception for on customer and did not for another by a manager. Later in the day I confronted the manager and expressed my frustrations that our personal biases were getting in the way of helping our customers equally and expressed that certain people or groups are less likely to express their frustrations or ask for a manager when they are denied a return in comparison to others.

    Looking at the modern office there are many “glass ceilings” that Steele refers to not only apply to minorities but to genders in general. Some bosses may stop people from being promoted because they are intimidated by women and do not think they should be placed on the same level as themselves, even though they are equally qualified for the position. Steele also talks about how a misused privileged can turn out to be a disadvantage such as the concept of welfare, because people use it to their advantage so much that it become a crutch for the rest of their lives. Wiley addresses a more individual process of failing to meet educational standards hence; “You get ballplayers who could barely form a compound sentence to keep a dog off them.” This statement is still true to this day due to the fact that so many people get accepted on full ride sports scholarships but their academics are below par, so that if something happens that keeps them from competing in sports they can not afford to stay in college nor can they keep their grades

    In this case the larger role to achieving equity would be not depriving children with disabilities of the example and stimulation provided by high achievers which assigns them to low-achievement due to low expectations. Children with disability under this type of grouping will always be labeled as low achievers and be grouped as slow students. Once categorized, they generally stay at that level for their school careers, and the gap between achievement levels becomes exaggerated over time. The notion that students ' achievement levels at any given time will predict their achievement in the future becomes a self-fulfilling
