Cultural Diversity in the Classroom

I can implement cultural diversity by using ideas/materials that relate to the different cultures in my classroom. I can do projects about different countries and symbols that represent that country. Make sure each student feels significant in the classroom everyday. I can do this by displaying students (bulletin board). Also point out students by encouraging them or giving a compliment. "You are such a delight" or "I really like your shoes". I like Mark Worley" quote, "There are no insignificant people in the Kingdom of God". Teachers should teach by this quote each day in their classroom. Teachers need to allow each student to have a voice and know he/she has a voice in the classroom. Just like the Yorbua tribe, who were very intelligent human beings were forced into slavery under different assumptions. Nobody knew they were that intelligent because others did not understand the culture. Teachers should make an effort to understand individual students everyday and make observations of what they notice. By doing this teachers will be able to communicate and teach every child in the classroom because the teacher knows the students' culture.
