Managing Diversity in the Classroom - Educators Professional Development Training
The way we treat or engage with others is influenced by our perceptions, values, and beliefs regarding their behavior, rights, and status, which can lead to the formation of privileged and marginalized groups, or in the context of this workshop, the distinction between "good" and "bad." student.
How do you engage with issues of diversity? Are you more comfortable discussing certain aspects, such as race, compared to others like behavior? While you may react strongly when you feel offended, do you also take the time to recognize when your words or actions might hurt someone else or alter their reaction to you?
A diverse classroom is more than students from different backgrounds sitting together. True diversity enriches the learning experience and opens doors for collective growth, development, and understanding.
Children enter the classroom with a unique blend of cultural expectations, skills, talents, and values that shape their identities. Their self-concept is significantly influenced by how they are perceived by others. To cultivate a positive self-image, it is essential for children to feel that their families and cultures are respected and valued. When the classroom environment fails to reflect and affirm these critical aspects of their identities, children may experience feelings of invisibility, insignificance, and shame. It is crucial for educators to create an inclusive atmosphere that honors the diverse backgrounds of all students, fostering a sense of belonging and self-worth.
