In any given multicultural classroom,what are the concerns in terms of social justice for all

students? How would you address these concerns? Describe a strategy you might use to ensure that

all students are treated equally and fairly?

The concerns of social justice for all students, is that all students are afforded the equal opportunity

regardless of their race, background, religious preference or disability, to have a meaning learning

experience. Every effort should be taken by the teacher and the school system to ensure that the

school curriculum has some relevance that is essential to every student, from all cultural backgrounds

may learn from.

How would I address these concerns in my class or school, would be to look at the diversity of my

classroom. Then I would draft up a lesson plan that would reflect, all cultures in my class, from

which all the children will be able to participate and learn from each other.

I would implement a program called “Bring Your Heritage to School Week”, where for a week, each

child would bring in something from home that reflects their culture or heritage to share with the class.

Having a program like this, each child gets the opportunity to learn about others differences and under-

stand why they are different in some ways, but they are all there for the same reason and that is to learn.

If I had a child in my class who has a disability, I would have his parents or caregiver come to the

class and explain why and how the child's disability occurred and why it is important to respect and

threat the child just like all the other
