For IECE KTS II, I selected a Classroom Management Plan (CMP) that demonstrates my ability to create and maintain an emotionally and physically healthy safe environment that supports full inclusion. The CMP task has two components. One is an Inclusive Learning Environment that I designed and includes an indoor and outdoor floor plan for an inclusive environment. The report explains the principles and context for preparation of the learning environment to maximize the opportunities for full inclusion

Assignments touched base on differentiation, instructional design, assessments; Action research and technology enriched learning environments to name a few. The final course Capstone focused one redesigning previous lesson plans, projects to address the 21st Century skills and demonstrate the mastery of the learning outcomes. The program outcomes enhance the teaching and learning process while preparing educators to
I. Introduction Cultural competence is the foundation in creating a successful academic environment for diverse students.

Learning is essentially an observable and measurable change in behaviour that is a result of continuous experience. Vygotsky (1978) describes the existence of continuous interactions of thoughts, simulations, past experiences, personal opinions when learning takes place.

Educators must take special measures in the delivery of classroom instruction to celebrate the learning and cultural differences of each of their students. As communities and schools continue to grow in diversity, teachers are searching for effective educational programs to accommodate the various learning styles of each
instruction and opportunities to learn. By understanding the races and ethnic backgrounds of the students, administrators may promote a supportive school environment, while educators promote a positive learning community and differentiate lessons to meet the needs of all students, regardless of race and ethnic culture. Also, through understanding the diverse backgrounds, teachers and students may develop a “trusting relationship” by respecting cultural backgrounds, avoid stereotyping, adapting instructions
