...At first, I did not understand why the question regarding diversity and inclusivity was being asked and thus, did not quite know how to respond. I believe after the readings, classroom discussions, and working with the identity pyramid worksheet, I am able to realize and understand that the University of Illinois promotes and emphasizes diversity and inclusivity. The reason behind is because the world is changing and the culture of this world is so diverse. Outside of the bubble that is the university’s campus, the world is filled with many different people with different beliefs, different ethnicity, and different in general. That is why by promoting inclusivity and diversity, this university is able to try their best to foster and grow students whose minds are open and accepting of new religions, political views, and opinions. Although not always in agreement, by promoting diversity and inclusivity, University of Illinois will be able to teach how to respectfully and effectively disagree or convey alternative opinions. I realized in the classroom discussions especially, the importance of inclusivity is rightfully stressed. Through obstacles such as...

...Intercultural Communication Plan for a Multicultural Classroom Instructor Dr. Ashley Berger July 25, 2012 Intercultural Communication Plan for a Multicultural Classroom This paper on Intercultural Communication Plan for a Multicultural Classroom is going to look on the importance of early education educators creating a multicultural classroom that will include all the different ethnic groups. This it will help to create a learning environment that will help all the students. In my experience working in a Head Start classroom I have learned that facilitating intercultural communication, and cross-cultural understanding is possible for students in a multicultural classroom, and that different cultures can be taught and incorporated in the classroom. Prince George's County Public Schools is number twenty-five in the nation for one of the largest school districts. They have 205 schools and about 125,000 students. They have approximately 18,000 employees that work for the school. The budget annually is $1.6 billion, and the school district caters to a socially inclusive student population. Prince George's County Public Schools are known for their innovative programs. The Prince George's County Public Schools believes that incorporating a multicultural education program in the schools creates and promotes an understanding of the diverse population of students that they have. The school that I work in Patuxent Elementary school is a community school that opened its doors in...

...“Working with immigrant children and their families has confirmed my belief that some of their rich heritage and values are needed in America today” (Igoa, 1995, p. 171) as Igoa emphasized the importance of embracing one’s own culture and values. Heritage is our history. It is responsible for how we came to be and what we will become. Therefore, the most important skills that we as educators/ administrators need to develop is ability to build on the knowledge that students bring into the classroom, especially knowledge that is shaped by their family, communities, and cultural histories. All children should be succeed in the school system regardless of their ethnic or language background. We can support to families in order for them to support...

...The Importance of Accommodating the Differences of our Students In today’s education, educators know that all students are different and that they all don’t learn the same. But to often educators do treat their students all the same and don’t recognize their difference. When this occurs in the classrooms it causes the students to not feel a part of the classroom and can cause them to fail. This is why it is very important that we as educators know and understand that all students are different and bring their own approach, strength, interest and talents to the classroom. Every student can contribute to the classroom in different ways that can help everyone to grow and succeed in school. Without an understanding of the unique meaning existing for the individual, the Problems of helping him effectively are almost insurmountable. --- Arthur Combs There are many different types of students that can contribute great things to your classrooms. By having a variety of students in your room, not only allows the other students to learn and grow from them but it also allows you as their educator to grow and learn as an individual and teacher. Some group of students that can contribute to your classroom and add great value are students with special needs, gifted students and students with a learning disability. All these students can add diversity in a positive way to your classroom. They can teach others that being different is alright and just because you are not...

...the school, but also help of the children. The main dispositions of learning consist of the commitment to diversity, commitment to ethics, commitment to the teaching profession, and knowing the philosophies and theories of education. Throughout a semester of a number of speakers, class documents, and Martin Haberman’s Star Teachers, I feel like I have learned how important these dispositions truly are for the success of a teacher and what I need to work on to better myself to become a true star educator. The first disposition of teaching is the commitment to diversity. Commitment to diversity is a strong point of mine because I have first handedly seen the benefits of diversity in the schools. In one hand I went to a middle school that was about 30% African American, 25% Hispanic, and 45% White. On the other hand I went to a high school that was almost 95% White, 4% African American, and 1% Hispanic. I feel like the students I went to school with in the diverse community had a more open mind about society in a whole which clearly made for better learning. I also observed that the teachers at the diverse school seemed to have more motivation to drive the students to succeed. The more diverse schools also seem to have a more positive attitude towards diverse cultures and learners. The more open a student is to other cultures, the more open he or she is with society. Diversity, a key to live, is extremely important in the school system which traces back to the teachers. Another...

...Abercrombie EDUC 2312.01 19 October 2013 Culture Diversity in the Classroom What is culture? Culture is “the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, manners, and scholarly pursuits.” (Dictionary.com) What does culture look like in the classroom? When viewing culture from a teacher’s perspective, it can be broken down into four different categories such as, religion, ethnicity, language, and economic status. These categories can help to define a classrooms culture. Our goal is to examine how culture, broken into these four categories, is viewed in the classroom. Race and Ethnicity(Sarah): In a classroom, a teacher will come across a variety of different races and ethnicities. Race refers to the physical attributes associated with certain groups, such as Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, African American, etc. Ethnicity is the specific groups within a race. For example, within the Caucasian race, you will find the Irish, French, German, etc. Also associated with ethnicity are the societal characteristics for each group within a race such as language and religious beliefs. In a classroom with multiple races and ethnicities, comes a wide range of religious backgrounds, languages, holidays, and customs. This can prove to have both positive and negative aspects within a classroom environment. Positive things that can come from a large collection of racial and ethnic diversity are the relationships formed on common ground by...

...Issues in Multicultural Education Effective instructors must understand the issues that impact multicultural education in the United States. The significance of providing an eminence instruction in an unbiased approach to all of their students is essential. The tide of demographic changes in the United States has affected most classrooms in our schools. As a result, some classroom teachers realize they must quickly acquire a comprehensive understanding of ethnic, cultural, and social-class diversity present in today’s schools. Otherwise, these teachers will face difficulty in classrooms comprised of fifty-one percent minority students. (Texas Education Agency, 1993) Nonetheless, traditional teachers with no experience in multicultural education training is a significant issue in Texas. Dayton Independent School District’s mission statement states, The mission of Dayton Independent School District is to educate all students to the maximum extent of their abilities and to challenge them to excel in a changing world. The fundamental purpose of Dayton Independent School District is to develop in all students the essential academic skills and knowledge of which to build lifetime learning. All students are taught a core curriculum of English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Fine Arts, Health, Physical Education and Technological Literacy. All students will be expected to acquire a knowledge of citizenship and economic responsibilities and an appreciation of...

...Works Cited Multicultural and diversity in Lit Friday, February 12, 2016 2:33 PM One of the books I read was KNOCK KNOCK by DANIEL BEATY ILLUSTRATED BY BRYAN COLLIER – Great book for the single parent home where children often feel abandon, searching, and missing one parent or another and no explanation of what has happened, the diversity in it, is this applies to children in general – no color-disability, or culture can fix this, but a book to let you know you are not alone and you can make the best of your life and future. I love the illustrator of this book the story could be felt in the pictures that were so cleverly done in collogue, with watercolor and the transparency in the pictures showed the multicultural thread. This next book was not on the list because the library I was using did not have but two of the books I was looking for and was suggested by the librarian – TAR BEACH by FAITH RINGGOLD – this book is a CALDECOTT HONOR BOOK and so endearing to me as I was given a story quilt when I was a child, a way to hand down heritage and family air looms with in a quilt that told a story of your family history. Faith Ringgold uses hers in the illustrations of the boarder in each page along with painted pictures, this is used to tell a story of a girl and her family and how she dreams someday of flying to freedom and going anywhere she wants to and buying factories for her father, a dream to be free of prejudice. Faith preludes to this in the book when she mentions...

...Bilingual Education Introduction Communication is a powerful tool in every setting that involves human interaction. The importance of bilingualism is felt when there are communication barriers orchestrated by multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism. The effect of communication barrier is more profound in the learning environment. This is reflected in the way it incapacitates understanding of the course contents. This paper will talk about bilingual education and the milieu in which it is juxtaposed. Bilingual education The logic behind bilingual education is the use of students’ native language in learning while at the same time learning English. Bilingual students have an added advantage in regard to understanding materials when two different languages are being used in the classroom. The increasing language and cultural diversity have necessitated the need for bilingual education which improve learning (Harris para 13). Such education enables students to diversify their learning since they are not confined within one language. Bilingual education enables inclusiveness in the classroom and total participation from the students/teachers can code switch and code mix to enhance understanding and communication. In the absence of bilingual education, other alternatives are sought in order to accommodate monolingual students and those who cannot understand and speak English fluently. Such options include using two different languages at the same time in class and translating while...

...------------------------------------------------- Diversity March 27, 2016 Barbara hernandez March 27, 2016 Barbara hernandez Diversity is what makes a person unique and that we all have differences that make someone who they are. It’s tied into different races, ethnicity, sex, religion, and a few other characteristics. My definition of diversity is most relatable to Myrtle P. Bell whose theory on diversity only includes race, ethnicity, sex, religion, age, physical and mental ability, sexual orientation, work and family status, weight and appearance. Bell went on discuss something she called “identity groups.” To me these identity groups are something that one person relates to another person and is considered to be part of the same group. She also went on to state that other areas are important because they could affect the person on an organizational level such as their value and their attitudes. The model I didn’t completely relate to is Row and Gardenswartz. Their model depicted beyond what I think diversity means. It included organization dimensions and personality which I don’t consider it part of the definition of diversity. The definition of diversity has evolved and some people are even including people’s experiences. I find that people’s experiences make them who they are and has nothing to do with being diverse. Diversity in our society today is important because it gives people the opportunity to experience different things outside of what they normally accustomed to. With this, diversity can...

...Shafer SOC312: Child Family & Society (BMF1441A) Art Tolentino October 27, 2014 Developmentally Appropriate Teaching Strategies Diversity encompasses numerous characteristics including socio-economic background, ethnicity, special needs, gender, and giftedness (Cazden, 2001). Today, classrooms are getting more varied and diverse with students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and students with a disability. It appears that teachers must meet the needs of all students successfully and individually to effectively teach a classroom of diverse students. This paper will first identify three challenges involved with ensuring that teaching strategies are appropriate for culturally diverse children. These three challenges are acknowledging there is a difference and that all students are not the same, establishing school-wide cultural collaboration, and implementing culturally responsive teaching. Second it will discuss these cultural challenges in the classroom using the sociological perspective of conflict theory. Third and finally it will discuss these cultural challenges in the classroom using the relevant perspective of Piaget’s preoperational stage of development. To make certain that all students in a certain classroom justly feel like they belong to that class, teachers who teach in diverse and inclusive classrooms must employ major strategies. The first challenges involved with ensuring that teaching strategies are appropriate for culturally diverse...

...developing a philosophy of education, it is important to take into account student diversity, student learning, curriculum, classroom management, and technology. In the following, I will explain my ideas in these areas and how I will implement them in the classroom. Student Diversity As a future educator, I look forward to teaching children with diverse backgrounds. No classroom is made up of students who are all identical. I will encounter gifted children and ones with special needs. There may be boys and girls who are culturally different and from dissimilar economical circumstances. Gifted students are challenging because they grow impatient about material that doesn’t interest them. Therefore, it is important to modify lessons to accommodate their needs. For example, I will add further criteria that appeal to each of their interests. Just the opposite will be done with special needs children. Many times I will need to modify lesson criteria in order to fit their needs. It is best to limit their written work and set achievable objectives for them. When they do reach these goals, I will praise them for what they’ve done. It is a definite possibility that I will teach children of different cultures throughout my career. With that being said, I understand the importance of being aware of various cultural differences. Ignoring these disparities will only cause problems in the classroom. Therefore, I will make it a point to value these differences and teach my students...
