4 Reasons Why Classrooms Need Diversity Education School climate and school culture directly impact student success. As a result, it is particularly important for the school culture (and the classroom culture) to reflect, acknowledge, and celebrate diversity. Taking these feel-good ideals and making them a reality can be tough for educators, especially with so many other initiatives on their ever-tighter schedules. But I think that this is so important that as an educator, you must take the time to do it. How to celebrate diversity in the classroom is another article, but for now, I want you to begin your journey with knowing exactly why it’s important. 1. 2. 3. 4. What are some easy ways you’ve found to promote diversity in your classroom? Also, if you’re interested in learning more about how you can celebrate diversity in class, here are some tips I have for you.
Classroom diversity My favorite TED talks on self-perception, culture, and identity I am a bit of a sucker for TED talks (TED= Technology Education Design). These less than 20 minute videos are excellent ways to satisfy my need to learn something new in bite-sized formats. Ready to consume and full of new ideas, I am always amazed by the fascinating, funny, courageous talks that are shared across the globe. Since I am focusing this blog on our perception of the world around us, about the impact of culture, and how to better understand your reality in relation to others, I have curated a list with my favorite TED talks on self-perception, culture, and identity. Looking past that one image we have of a person to dive deeper and more complex. Be challenged to look past your first impression and perceptions. Learn about the impact a perception can have on your image of a person. Debating and dealing with rootlessness or what home actually means. Does the way you speak a language define how you are perceived? How does our brain create a sense of self?
Oral presentation Melissa: Hi, everyone! Today I would like to talk about how to become the most popular teen in school. Firstly, I think getting good academic results is the first factor to make you become popular since, having a good academic result, your teacher will award you in front of your schoolmates. Secondly, I think participating in school clubs and student unions can help to make you become popular, since after participating in these school clubs or student union, people will know who you are and it can help you to make friends all around the school, no matter senior forms or junior forms. In conclusion, I think to become the most popular teen in school we need to have good academic results and also participate in school clubs and student union. Kelvin: Good evening, everyone! As we all know, cigarettes are not good for our health, not only oneself but also other people around. But, should the government make it illegal? Moreover, Hong Kong is a free market.
The Value of Classroom Diversity ED TAF Patrick Kelly with students in his classroom in Columbia, South Carolina. (Photo courtesy Patrick Kelly) I am in my eleventh year teaching but often find my greatest educational epiphanies as a parent. One such moment occurred last spring when my daughter’s first grade class discussed de jure racial segregation of American society during the first half of the 20th century. When she came home, she shared what she had learned and asked this poignant and powerful question, “Daddy, does that mean I couldn’t have gone to school with my best friend?” However, the value of diversity is currently being unrealized at a rate unseen in the last 50 years. First, as my daughter experienced, classroom diversity promotes student growth and reflection. Second, diverse classrooms play an essential role in career preparation. Finally, diversity prepares students for citizenship. Of course the value of classroom diversity is not a new concept.
Diversity in the classroom One Somali's crusade EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – When Ahmed Jama and his family began renting a modest townhouse here in 1998, they stood out. The young African couple and their son were among the few Somali families for miles around. But in the 16 years since, the world around them has radically changed, and not all for the better. Jama and his wife now have two daughters, and word-of-mouth — about good schools and steady jobs — has brought a wave of refugees fleeing war-torn east Africa, transforming the suburbs of Minneapolis. That same jump in diversity ignited a firestorm when Jama and others in the Somali community publicly supported a school district bid to redraw boundary lines. What followed was a wrenching series of public meetings, protests and online organizing campaigns whose ferocity shocked many longtime residents. Before the controversy, "we never spoke in public," says the soft-spoken Jama. Schools rocked by change MORE: Check out the diversity in your local schools
