Graduation Speech : Classroom Diversity

I realized that accepting differences and valuing diversity is what helps me become a more dynamic and flexible as a future teacher. Especially when it comes to teach a diverse classroom, recognizing pluralism and divergent perspectives on educating students is the foundation of designing effective lessons and instructional practices for diverse students. (CSU San Marcos, 2017, p.4) If a child has a hard time to show his or her real identity, it will be misleading for teachers to design an appropriate instructional activates. The refusal to acknowledge differences often results in schools and teachers labeling children’s behaviors as “deficient” ( Nieto& Bode, 2008) I think my experience and my diverse

Diversity is a beautiful thing; from religion to physical looks, the differences among people is astounding. The world would be such a monotonous place if everyone were the same. However, many tend to note that diversity in a classroom can sometimes be an issue- especially among the students. From my own experiences within a diverse class, I realize that the contrast between students is a blessing and a curse

Every student is different, from how they learn to how much effort do they put in when studying. But with the right teacher guiding them to success, nothing is impossible. So, how do we motivate the future generation to succeed in school? The Perils and Promise of Praise, by Carole S. Dweck. The author focus on how to motivate students to succeed in school. From how you talk to them, motivate them to learn and rewarding them.

Poverty is a serious issue which our society and children faces every day. It is a constant struggle that shouldn’t be ignored. UNICEF states “The study of OECD countries in 2007, over fourteen percent of Australian children under the age of eighteen are currently living in households who are defined as poor or with incomes less than half of the median national income”. The increase in the number and percentage of children living in poverty within our society has contributed to making today's classrooms more diverse than ever it has been. This highlights and makes both teaching and learning more challenging. Diversity exists in the students who are living in poverty and the education assistant and teachers must provide the concept of diversity

I will implement this into my future class by assessing my class and creating individual educational plans for each student. By doing this I will be able to create modifications based on the developmental stages of each student. I will also be able to engage my students by teaching according to their learning style. I will also provide the necessary resources and tools for the success of each child’s development and academic success.

The students that I observe are all diverse in many ways, which play into their educational development. To begin, there are certain classes that are predominately white, and some that are predominately black. I have noticed that there is never an in-between, and that there is a few Hispanic students thrown into

The routines established include lining up quietly outside the classroom door, walking in and taking their seat quietly, each row will be called by the teacher to retrieve and return classroom textbooks and workbooks, and any supplies will be handed out and collected by a row captain. Other routines established during the lesson plans include: taking out and checking the previous night 's homework, a group lesson plan that reviews the objectives and standards, group work formation by the teacher, and a quick check assignment during class is used as a formative assessment for the day 's lesson plan. Bathroom breaks are during class changes or students may go during class, but only

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

When the student arrives into the classroom they should enter quietly, get their work from their cubbies, and wait patiently on the teacher to give instructions if not told before they sit down in a seat on the correct side of the room. When class starts they will start off with a warm up on the lesson that is planned for the day/week or review from the previous lesson to make sure everyone is on the right place. No one will be judged on their class work from other peers that are in the group as well. As a class they will learn to help each other when he or she is struggling or behind on a lesson. After all the class work is done they can go use the restroom if need be, but if not, they are to work on their sight words, read a book, or to finish up any work for a different class that needs to be complete. Reason for the warmups and the extra reading I want to encourage the students to improve their reading and math skills, so they can improve their testing scores, so they will not have sit in another classroom without their

With diversity being such a touchy subject, when teaching my students I would have to be careful to not exclude, but include each and every student into the class. Making sure that all of my students feel accepted, I will try my hardest to understand their views. In order to have a supportive amount of diversity in my classroom, I will make sure to recognize any biases or stereotypes that my students may have absorbed. This can be reconciled by having a discussion based on the assumptions that they might have. I could even have them do some type of writing assignment to see their points of views about stereotypes. Stereotypes form from the unknown of something. So it would be my job to inform my students about any questions that they may have. Next, I would treat each student as an individual, and respect each one for who he or she is. Once students realize that the teacher accepts them for who they are, they are bound to do the same for other students. I’ve noticed that people, in general, are in need of that acceptance from others and if they don’t receive it they start to feel inferior. Lastly, I will be even-handed towards all of my students. I won’t show any type of protection or sense of favoritism toward any individual student. If there is any amount of favoritism it would cause discord in the

Identity Statement I would consider myself to be very diverse and cultured, I grew up in a household where we celebrated New Mexican Traditions and African-American traditions. My mother is black and my father is Spanish, I also grew up speaking Spanish. These two cultures have impacted me greatly, but when I got pregnant I was introduced to many other cultures and forms of diversity.

Marcel, I want you to understand where I am coming from in our previous engagement over the comments section of my shared post. You are currently not in the US. You are not currently a "minority" in the sense of both gender and race. I also want to make sure you understand why Donald is getting the backlash that he is and how many people are affected by both his behavior and confidence he seems to possess. I do not understand why you support this kind of cause, seeing as statistics of suicide rates and fear amongst the United States continues to be prevalent. I would actually like to know exactly what do you support exactly about Donald? This can be a completely private chat. But I would like you to back them up with facts that are not simply

Diversity in the classroom is having a diverse group of students simply means recognizing that all the people are unique in their own way .Their differences could consist of their reading level, athletic ability, cultural background, personality, religious beliefs, and the list goes on.

Like it or not, there has always been diversity among students in the classroom. It is the fact that each and every student is unique. From every circumstance, students bring a varying set of values, perspectives, and beliefs to the learning environment. Understanding the character of students is important in order to become a competent teacher. In fact, teachers should be aware and recognize students, as unique individuals, all acquire information differently than others. Some of these differences are due to developmental variations in cognitive, physical, intellectual, moral, emotional, and social changes caused by maturation and experience. And this reality of classroom conditions makes instruction much more challenging for teachers and

A second way to intrinsically motivate students is to “understand the children” (Specific Classroom Management Methods). Originality and creativity should be encouraged in all students. Make a point to give students opportunities to express themselves in different ways. Each child is unique and self-expression is a great way to learn about each and every student. When starting the year, “Knowing what background your students bring to class and starting the course at an appropriate level can increase a students success and…positive feelings they have about your
