Abstract




Not all students are the same so they cannot be

taught the same way. Their cultures and experiences

 the way they learn and respond to schooling.

Several cultural factors affect the way students

behave .  Each student is different because of

physical and mental abilities, gender, ethnicity, race,

 language, religion, class, sexual orientation, 

and age .







Multicultural school has different characteristics. I

think the most important is the composition of the

faculty, administration, and other staff accurately

reflects the pluralistic composition of the United

States because this will influence a student’s

behavior.

 


The importance of diversity in education – IB World Schools Yearbook





Introduction:       





For teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL),

the question is, “How can we incorporate cultural

knowledge and understanding within the context of

our English language classes? ”One challenge a

teacher faces is what approach to take.


 


What Two Students Want You to Know About Inclusive Teaching | Faculty Focus




Diversity




Diversity is everything that makes people different

from each other. This includes many different factors:

race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-

economic status, ability, age, religious belief, or political

conviction. All these factors work together to inform how

students (and teachers, and everyone else) encounter

 the world.

Why is diversity in the classroom



important?





If you ignore the issue of diversity in the classroom and

choose to not promote diversity in your school, you’re

not doing your job.





Children go to school to be prepared for the workforce,

 so teaching must effectively address and embrace the

realities that come with living and working in a diverse

school, community and country.




Not only that, but there are other research-backed

reasons for promoting diversity in the classroom:


 




Diversity in the classroom builds


 critical thinkers






“Decades of research by organizational scientists,

psychologists, sociologists, economists and

demographers show that socially diverse groups

(that is, those with a diversity of race, ethnicity, gender

and sexual orientation) are more innovative than

homogeneous groups.”





Diversity in the classroom helps students develop

social awareness which helps them appreciate

 different perspectives and draw stronger

conclusions. Challenging students to consider

 different perspectives can also teach them how to

interact with their peers on a social level, and equip

them with skills they’ll use for the rest of their life.

 



It improves academic outcomes




Diversity in the classroom doesn’t just improve social

skills, it can also have an impact on academic results. It

improves critical thinking skills and encourages

academic confidence.


 



It helps students feel represented


and included





When schools take inclusive and responsive

approaches to diversity, students are more likely to see

their identity represented in classroom materials or

other students. When diversity is not a priority and

 these students don’t feel included, they’re more likely

to not participate and feel inferior to their peers.





“To understand an idea is to understand the ideas that

surround it, including those that stand in contrast to

it. Idea diversity creates a rich environment for

 ideas to evolve into new and more refined forms.

 This pedagogical approach may help students to

appreciate and value all forms of diversity and how

diversity enriches learning.”

Multicultural education and schools:



Multicultural schools are the schools that include

learners of different nationalities with their different

cultures. The multicultural education works in

reforming schools and providing an equal and

excellent education for everyone.





An additional aspect to a perfect education system


would bethe use of multicultural education in


schools. Multicultural education creates a


comfortable environment for students of all races


and ethnicity to learn in by combining a variety


 of ideals about teaching.




According to Geneva Gay, the creator of


multicultural education, one of these ideals is


understanding the cultural characteristics


and cultural contributions of different ethnic groups,


 such as the values of different ethnic groups, along


 with their traditions and communication styles.


It is important to know all of these traits in order to


know how to successfully teach all of the students


 in the class, regardless of class, ethnicity, or gender.

7 ways to encourage a culture of


diversity in your school




Alright. So diversity is important to cultivate in your

classroom because of the academic and social 

benefits.



That’s a great thing to know, but what does diversity in

the classroom look like in action? And how can you

promote it in your school?





1. Re-evaluate your teaching materials



Which voices are speaking in your classroom?

That is, whose stories do you tell? Especially in the

humanities and social sciences, teaching materials

can often be limited to Western, white, male and

 middle-class narratives.




Work with your teachers to see if you’re representing

a wide range of voices in the curriculum. If possible,

teach literature from authors of color. Examine

historical narratives to see which voices are

missing — for example, a discussion about the civil

rights movement can examine how it intersects with

gender equality, immigration and the stories of Latino,

Hispanic and Native American peoples.





2. Get to know your students



All the students in your school are unique individuals,

 so use that fact to build a diverse and inclusive school culture.

Take the time to learn about your students: Where do

they come from? What kind of socio-economic 

situation do they live in, broadly speaking? Are they 

meeting academic achievement standards, or are they

struggling?




 Do they get along with their peers?

With everything that you have to keep track of and 

work on, it might be difficult to find the time to 

intentionally build relationships with students — 

especially if you’re new to the school or to a

 leadership position.





3. Be willing to address inequality


Part of supporting diversity in the classroom is creating

 a safe space for students and educators to talk about

how issues of discrimination affect them on a personal,

 classroom- and school-wide level.




The more diversity is a topic of discussion in your

school, the less students and teachers will hesitate

to address it. As a school leader, you’re in a position

to lead the conversation and inspire others in the

 school to take action.




This conversation shouldn’t just be limited to words

— in order to make effective change, you need to take

practical steps to address inequality when you

encounter it, such as:




Use language that promotes positivity and doesn’t

reinforce existing stereotypes. For example, the 

phrase “boys will be boys” shouldn’t be used to justify 

sexism or aggression.




Respond immediately and effectively to inappropriate

comments or actions. Take infractions seriously and

keep families informed.




Model inclusion and acceptance. Encourage students

to include all of their peers if you see division forming

along racial or economic lines.




Remove existing markers of inequality in your school.

For example, make sure students who are eligible for

free or reduced lunch programs aren’t singled out and

made to feel different.


 




4. Connect with families and community



Schools are a central part of the community and

should reflect and celebrate its diversity.




Communicate your goals for diversity in the

classroom to families. Ask if they have any questions

or concerns, and then listen. Invite them to identify

areas in the curriculum or in the school culture that

they feel could benefit from more of a focus on diversity.




Reach out to leaders in the community that can offer

different perspectives, either as experts in their field,

professionals, community workers or activists. Consider

 asking teachers to develop service learning projects that

connect classroom learning with community initiatives.




5. Meet diverse learning needs



Uniform standards can’t apply to a diverse classroom,

so start working with your teachers to establish different

approaches for students with different learning needs.

Some suggestions for making sure the classroom stays

 accessible and equitable:




Introduce adaptive technologies.


Adaptive technologies make learning accessible for all

students. This can include anything from speech-to-text

software, talking calculators for students with

dyscalculia, or modified computer accessories for

students with physical disabilities.




Encourage teachers to use different types of

instruction and teaching strategies.



Techniques like project-based learning, differentiated

instruction and blended learning all allow teachers to help

learners with different needs. (For even more ideas

about classroom teaching strategies, read our Ultimate

List of Teaching Strategies!)




Create opportunities for all students to contribute.


Within groups, have students take on different roles

that fit their strengths. Some students can act as note

takers, while others can facilitate the conversation.


 




6. Hire diversely



As a school leader, you can directly impact the 

diversity of your faculty through hiring and recruitment

 efforts. Some of the suggestions from the study for 

hiring a more diverse faculty include:




Establish programs at the district level that recruit

teachers from non-traditional programs and provide

financial help and training.




Improve the data systems that monitor diverse hiring

efforts, and reward schools that meet diversity

requirements.




Hire earlier in the year to reach more in-demand 

candidates.




Support principal preparation programs, including

actively recruiting teachers and supporting their

professional development





7. Support professional development


opportunities




This is especially important considering their student

body has a great deal of economic diversity and aims

to give at least half of its opening to students who

qualify for free or reduced lunch. With professional

development, teachers in that school are better

equipped to address challenges and confront biases

 in themselves and in their students.

 


The Benefits of Inclusion and Diversity in the Classroom | American  University




The role of the teacher:




First and foremost, in a multicultural classroom,

the teacher must truly care for all of the students

and want them to succeed. Students need to know

that someone believes in them and, sometimes,

their teacher is the only person that really does.

 If a teacher has no faith in a student and gives up

 on them, then the student will most likely not

believe in himself or herself either.




The teacher also needs to understand that not

every student is from an intelligent or wealthy

family, but it is still their responsibility to be able

to teach those students.

Multicultural Curriculum


For 



Multicultural Classroom





When I first started this class I was aware of

multicultural curriculum but I was not aware of how

important it was in a classroom setting. As the

weeks have gone by in this class, I have learned

that multicultural curriculum is important because

 it 's a way for teachers to include all children from

diverse backgrounds.





As we 've have progressed in the study of

multicultural curriculum we have learned to address

 important topics such as biases, social justice,

stereotypes, the development of identity and how

 to communicate with parents. The purpose of this

paper is to inform our readers of how a multicultural

education benefits children.




How can teachers create a multicultural learning

community, and how can teachers help guide

children. There are many factors that can help a

child achieve a better outcome in a school setting,

 as teachers we should be able to identify each of

our student’s individual strengths, their pastimes

 and how can we support their needs so that they

can master their full potential.

 


Reducing the Risk of Dropout in Culturally Diverse Students





Kinds of cultures:




Perspectives (what members of a culture think,

 feel, and value)



Practices (how members communicate and

interact with one another)





Products (technology, music, art, food, literature,

 etc.; the things members of a group create, share,

and transmit to the next generation).

Levels of culture:




1-Surface culture:


Examples of surface culture elements include food,

 national costumes, traditional music and dance,

literature, and specific holidays.





2-The sub-surface culture:



In the sub-surface culture section, students could

list notions of courtesy, body language, gestures,

touching, eye contact, personal space, facial

expressions, conversational patterns, and the

concept of time.



These are the behavior-based, unspoken rules of

social interaction present in all cultures but perhaps

not often thought about. Such rules vary widely

across cultures. Teachers can give specific examples

 from English-speaking cultures and contrast them

with elements from the students’ own culture.




For instance, a teacher in Japan may explain that

while Americans value eye contact with interlocutors,

it doesn’t mean that they lock eyes and stare during

an entire interaction.

 



3-The deep culture:


The deep culture—may be the most difficult elements

 for students to identify. These can be so far ingrained

that people feel these are simply the “right” and 

“normal” way of doing things.





While it might seem odd for American parents to share

 their bed with their children, many cultures around the

world view this as a normal practice.

 


The teacher diversity gap is literally inherited



Requirements of a Multicultural


Classroom Cultural observations:





To help students critically evaluate the cultural

practices and products of their own culture and

those of another country, teachers can gather

books, poetry, newspapers, magazines, radio

clips, television shows, movies, video clips, or

music—or have students gather them.





Students can describe the behaviors and

products they read about, see, or hear, then

discuss differences and similarities between

 their own culture and the culture they are

observing. Students can consider these

questions when watching television shows,

movies, or video clips:




• How and where do people live?


• How do people spend their time?


• How do people dress?


• What and how do people eat?


• What side of the road do people drive on?


.Do people seem to follow traffic rules?


• What gestures or superstitions did you notice?


• How do people greet one another?


 Do they hug? Shake hands?


• What is the polite thing to do in certain situations?

Benefits of a multicultural classroom



Exposes students to different cultures




One of the top reasons why a multicultural

classroom is beneficial is because students are

encouraged to learn about the cultural backgrounds

of other students in a class.



Students interact with various communities and get

first-hand knowledge about multiple celebrations;

for example, indulging in Japanese snacks on

Japanese Children’s Day or dressing up in

traditional Indian attire on Diwali.






Fosters acceptance and tolerance in a 


learning environment




A multicultural education provides educational

opportunities to learners from diverse ethnic cultural

groups and social classes. It enables students to

acquire skills and develop a positive attitude to

communicate, interact, and foster acceptance and

tolerance with individuals from varied cultures to

create a moral and civic community.






Teaches multiple perspectives



At CIS, multiple perspectives and references are

taught in class. The multicultural classroom provides

 an opportunity for students from different cultures

 to bring their enormous range of experiences,

knowledge, perspectives, and insights to the

classroom.





Encourages critical thinking



 Both teachers and students evaluate their own

cultural assumptions and then discuss how learning

materials, teaching practices, or schools policies

reflect cultural bias, and how they could be changed

 to eliminate bias.





Helps build an international network



 Students are encouraged to start networking from

 a young age and build a network of contacts that

can not only help them forge lifelong friendships

but can also help expand their career perspectives

 to a global level.




Several internships are also offered to students

 from universities all over the world to foster global

networking as well as to study and observe a truly

international environment at Canadian International

 School (CIS).





Cultural “informants”:


Our strategy is to invite native speakers or proficient

non-native speakers of English to come to class

and speak on a specific aspect of their own culture.

 These “informants” can be a resource to confirm

ideas, impressions, or textbook information that

students have learned.
