<\/p>\nDifferences are something everybody will have to deal with in their careers. So being a teacher, I personally will have a wide variety of differences in my classroom. According to the textbook, multicultural education promotes fairness in the schooling for all students (Woolfork, 2014). There are many differences that I am assuming that I will encounter such as differences in abilities, gender, race,\u00a0ethnicity, religion and so on. These differences don\u2019t just include students, but parents and colleagues I will work with.<\/p>\n
I think a very important cultural difference is student\u2019s races and that it is okay that somebody is of a different race. Stereotypes are used a lot and come into factors on first opinions unfortunately. I think since schools are becoming more diverse, it is very important to understand different backgrounds of individuals. As a future educator, I could help students become informed on others by making different races work together and get to know each other better. A key aspect is to learn as much as I can as an educator about differences among other races.<\/p>\n

A few examples of what can be done in the classroom:<\/p>\n
* Get to know each student individually. Learn their names and how to pronounce them correctly.<\/p>\n
* Divide the class into smaller groups, each with the responsibility of reporting on the material from the viewpoint of a particular minority group.<\/p>\n
* Ask students to locate cultural or even discriminatory content in textbooks or other materials.<\/p>\n
* Ask for each student’s thoughts about the subject, acknowledging the statement of each as it is made. This lets students know from the very beginning that their thoughts have a place in the classroom, that there are differences, and that the differences will be tolerated.<\/p>\n
* Make it safe for everyone to voice their views by accepting all views as worthy of consideration. Don’t permit scapegoat of any student or any view. Team up with a student who is alone out on a limb. (Salley, 2003)<\/p>\n
These are a few key aspects to consider when there is diversity in the classroom. A teacher should not make anything obvious that a students is different in any way. Every student should be treated equally, no exceptions. As a future educator, I plan on taking these ideas into action so all kids feel the same as the next.<\/p>\n
