Chapter 4 Learning Log

What?
"Group Differences" - this lesson was about multicultural education. We discussed a wide variety of sujects. There are so many groups to discuss - different ethnic backgrounds, race, gender, language, and socioeconomic differences just to name a few. The main point of the lesson was to help us to be aware of our own cultural biases and how we can avoid those in our classrooms.

So What?
Our classrooms are so diverse today. They are increasingly more and more diverse. Part of it is immigration, another is part is our legislation that forces us to teach all children under the age of 18, regardless of ability or citizenship status.
It is so important that we use a broad range of perspectives to teach our lessons

Now What?
When I create lesson plans, I will need to adapt them so that they will be relevant to the many different groups that will inevitably be in my classroom.
