Assessment Of Diversity Proficiencies Objective

INTRO: Prompt: What should “diversity on campus” mean and why? Hook: Does diversity help liberate narrow-mindedness? What exactly is diversity? To say that diversity is approached on school campuses is an understatement to the level of understanding in this increasingly globalized world. By its definition, “diversity” requires inclusion. Are school’s really working toward the inclusion of everyone? This means including color, national origin, socio-economic status, and sexual orientation. Looking at court cases and polls shown in the short articles, “Introduction from Place, Not Race: A New Vision of Opportunity in America” and “The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality,” their approach to strengthening

ITV has become a successful organisation by following 3 approaches, inclusiveness, community and environment leading them to become one of the biggest broadcasters.

Our assignment, Diversity Awareness, was to take the self-assessment on page 55 of our textbook, calculate our scores, and then read the definition of our score provided in the book. The purpose of this self-assessment was to gain insight on our personal views about diversity. By gaining insight to our personal views we will hopefully be able to identify our weaknesses, take the necessary corrective actions, and become more culturally competent people. According to our textbook my score of 32 means I have a "high diversity awareness and I am comfortable with many different types of people and in many types of situations" . (Phillips|Gulley, pg. 55)

By this class meeting a diversity requirement, it means that a subject that is not commonly taught is available for us so that we may gain a new prospective on how we live, what we want to focus on, continue scaffolding along this educational path, and it is an opportunity to learn something new. By taking a diversity course, we are voluntarily engaging in a class to discover what else there is to life and how we can look at it from all points of view whether it’s the view of man, woman, child, politician, or otherwise. This course qualifies as a diversity requirement due to the patriarchal ways that most psychological courses and studies were created. The fight for equality among the sexes has driven more psychologist to take a more in-depth

This experience was specifically chosen as a mechanism to better understanding dementia in all its facets following the loss of an uncle, who I later found was diagnosed with the disorder. As described by Amin and Holmes (2016) dementia is a general term for a range of progressive organic brain diseases characterized by problems of short-term memory and other cognitive deficits and is often a consequence of processes that result in the aberrant polymerization of proteins (p. 687). From an academic and biological perspective, this information is extremely fascinating, however I rarely considered the faces behind the disorder and as such experienced something akin to a sudden bereavement following my uncle 's

Communicating what we want to say, how we want to say it is the goal of expressing ourselves linguistically. For English Language Learners (and their teachers), the ability to do that successfully in their new language presents a challenge. In the content areas of instruction, it is especially important to draw out the information that a student already knows in their native language – even when they do not have the linguistic ability to express themselves in English – in order to assess their level of understanding and engage prior knowledge. Using non-linguistic representations provides a way of bridging that gap between actual understanding and the ability to express that

Offer students with learning difficulties some extra free courses of English skill improvement class. The timetable of the English skill class should be consulted with the students. This information is from the student survey and questionnaire results.

My next article takes us into the concept of diversity and inclusion that involves reaching over milestones we already made and prepare us for the next milestones to come. The tone in this reading is that we have diversity under our belt, so lets now use what we learned from diversity to move forward to inclusion. Inclusion in the workplace is explained as organizations incorporates the ideas, understanding and perspectives of their diverse group of employees towards the betterment of the employees and the organization. So we are now moving beyond race, sex and gender and into everyone’s human aspects. That is the thoughts, feeling and emotions within the diverse group. Inclusion will have us look at things much differently than we did

There is so much I take for granted: I was born to a family that was always able to provide me with what I needed, was supported by love, and had financial security. In general, I grew up without knowing true hardship. I only realized this entering high school where I encountered my first real experience with diversity.

While this week there was not one thing that was completely new, there was a strong link between the discussion of primary language supports, or PLS, and the learning of English language learners. Effectively implementing PLS strategies will be important in supporting a student’s primary language while they are also learning English, like the strategies creating cognate word studies, reading aloud books in a student’s primary language, and students helping students. Thus, the concept of PLS and these three strategies all focused on a concept that is essential to learning for students, including English language learners, which is connecting learning to the student in a personal way.

frequently group candidates based on readiness, interest, or learning profile, nor do they regularly create enrichment occasions for students who complete activities/assignments with minimal effort. For assessment, items related readiness, interest, and learning profile characteristics. Fifty-two percent of teachers indicated they always or frequently assess candidates’ interests. Readiness and learning profile characteristics were 39% and 22%.

There were three hypotheses for this study to find a connection between diversity and performance. The three hypotheses are detailed below:

When teaching English as a foreign language, the teacher must be conscious to develop four different language skills in the students – listening, speaking, reading and writing. The activities and strategies used to develop these skills must be determined by the level and ability of the students being taught. This essay will discuss the strategies that facilitate the development of each language skill in the EFL classroom; the examples of activities used will be in the context of B2 level students, a classroom full of individuals who are able to function as independent users of the English language.

A teacher using the competency based approach must be an analyst of the circumstances of the learning process, be able to identify the students current level of knowledge, be able to communicate the objectives of the class, provide corrective feedback when needed and offer the class different activities according the learner needs and level of expertise.

The ever-growing need for language learning and good communication skills in English has created a huge demand for English teaching not just here in our country but around the world. Millions of people today want to learn English language and improve their facility of it or to ensure that their children achieve a good command on it. The worldwide demand for English language learning has created an enormous demand for quality language teaching, language teaching materials, and resources. Richards (2006) said that learners set themselves demanding goals. They want to be able to learn or acquire and master English to a high level of accuracy and fluency. Employers, too, insist that their employees have good English language skills, and fluency in English is a prerequisite for success and advancement in many fields of employment in today’s world. The demand for an appropriate teaching methodology is therefore as strong as ever.
