Minorities In The Classroom Analysis
Educators need to recognize that they will have students with diverse cultures and ethnicities in their classrooms that will affect their students’ personalities, sense of selves, social skills, relationships, morality, and prosocial behaviors. Two ideas that may help my future students feel related or comfortable in the classroom while addressing cultural differences include: recognizing how ethnic identities influence my students, and incorporating lessons that permit students to use their interpersonal behaviors. In the future if I have students who identify strongly in their ethnic identities, “an awareness of one’s ethnic group and willingness to adopt some of the group’s behaviors”, I would try to incorporate their ethnic identities into

    A student raised with the Culturalcentric lens may have difficulty adopting some of the traditional classroom norms of group behavior. If there is a way to incorporate a cultural practice or tradition, one that is unique to this student, do so. It would validate them and offer a wonderful learning opportunity for their classmates. Also, there are times when the needs of the entire classroom must supplant the individual. A student with a Culturalcentric lens may have a challenge realizing these moments. A clear but firm reminder to this student that they are part of a larger group with common, universal goals - i.e. "to learn", may be needed.…

    There a variety of differences amongst students in a classroom which include gender, socioeconomic, cultural, and ethnic differences. As a teacher, it is important to be aware of these differences in order to maximize the learning and development of all students. Dealing with children form various ethnic groups and cultures can be especially challenging. Teachers must be attentive towards students with cultural/ethnic differences, and may have to adapt their teaching styles in order to create a culturally inclusive classroom. For example, if a teaching was doing a lesson on music and art, he/she could play songs, and show artwork from various cultures. This would allow students to explore the different cultures they might not know much about, as well as make all the students feel included. However, this can be challenging task if a teacher has many students from various cultures. Additionally, as a teacher it would be challenging to make sure all of the students understand and respect each others…

    Puzzles of various cultures from the classroom should be placed out on shelves to help the children identify and feel welcomed in the classroom. Another material to have in a classroom would be multicultural dolls. The baby dolls should be of various ethnicities or different cultures. The dolls would be a representation of various differences in features that children may question. The last material to mention would be posters or pictures hanging throughout the classroom. These posters would display various cultures, genders and even disabilities. The pictures would show that the classroom welcomes various individuals and would want them to feel welcomed.…

    As educators we must focus our attention to the needs of the student because it they are not going to our school we as educators will not have the luxury of paying our bills, feeding our families and do the things we want to do. The focus of education need to reflect the needs of every student and cultural is another part of which this student is and by learning more about who they are we as educators will learn new ways to become effective teachers by listening to their needs. Every child is different and unique, they come many different cultural and different background and they each need special attention to how they learn. The diversity in education is also important because students learn better from teachers with similar language background and can relate to them in a special way. For example I can use my native language to explain a concept to my struggling students and make a connection using tools or strategies to help them understand the context. There are many example of how diversity the classroom breeds successes among students, and studies have shown that students learn well in small groups when they share their culture with one…

    It also crucial to understand how racial disparities in the classroom can lead to racial stereotyping and racial discrimination. Unfortunately, some teachers may stereotype African American students as delinquent or academically inferior, thus they may be more punitive towards minority children. Therefore, Rocque and Pasternoster (2011) states that their research will evaluate if black students are discriminated by use of school punishment, and if disparate treatment is used more in elementary school. The amount of school discipline and the proportion of African American students will be measured to see correlations exist between the two…

    Being a military brat I was raised around all different kinds of race, religion, cultures, and so on. I know what it is like to be that one with different views and values. Relating to students is really important to me because I want them to always feel safe and comfortable in my classroom. Multicultural education is education that teaches the value of cultural diversity (Slavin, 2012). There are five dimensions that fall under multicultural education, which are content integration, knowledge construction, prejudice reduction, empowering school culture. These five dimensions are different strategies to implement diversity in the classroom, and using culture examples in our content area. I have learned many things through the five dimensions of multicultural education and will implement it in my classroom. In one of my journal entries I stated “I am really glad that I read up on this and now I can bring this to the table at our first meeting on Thursday “(entry 3). Reading all of this information I was able to bring information to our group meeting, and everyone was very grateful for the information. We have been working on a plan to implement throughout all of the classes, in our “6th Grade…

    I found myself in trouble at school at times by my lack of cultural awareness. From being labeled as a bully for fighting back against others who attacked me to not quite understanding why I could not be angry at those who would attack me for no reason, I was often confused at the time by not knowing the wrong of my actions that seemed to be morally just to me. Facing adversity in the classroom in the form of peers who feared my culturally different background, I learned that I must educate other rather than succumb to a cycle of hate. From the initially negative experiences, I have learned to respectfully inquire about a person's individuality that I am not familiar with and ultimately teach others about my identity as…

    With me becoming a first time teacher I believe that it is extremely important to be open to new cultures. I want my classroom to be a place students feel welcomed and where they want to share about their own backgrounds with others. There are a couple ways I believe I could achieve these goals. One is by bringing in elements from other races, another could be information books or stories about other cultures, and lastly the most important is to have lots of knowledge on other cultures than my own. Having a diverse classroom would be much easier to learn about different races and cultures. But, living in a small town its much harder to understand and learn about race that’s how I think books and stories would help in a smaller town. In the book Beyond heroes and holidays, the author mentions how she starts off her semester with their students asking them to describe some of their beliefs about teaching and about how society works (Lee, Menkart, & Okazawa-Rey, 2008).I believe this would be a great way to teach, as well as gain a new understanding to the students’ viewpoints on race. This activity is also something that students can see their views evolving throughout the year and will defiantly be something I will be using as a tool in the…
