Children of today have access to technology that the students in the past have not.

# data[].attributes.body
Educators must consider that children come from different backgrounds, they might have learning or physical disabilities, we must acknowledge their multiple intelligences, learning environment, their different needs, accommodations, and modifications.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning styles, cultural backgrounds, initial language, strengths and weaknesses, and socioeconomic status .

We need to take into consideration their ethnicities, their cultural and home backgrounds, and their previous knowledge. We also need to consider their learning readiness and personal interests. Their linguistic history and language proficiency is also crucial.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers need to consider that every student may have different learning preferences, for example hands on or visual.

# data[].attributes.body
Their cultural & economic background (how it affects their learning).

# data[].attributes.body
They might come from different backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses so we have to make sure we provide the proper education and resources for them.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to consider different learning styles and paces. As well as different ways of teaching. we also need to keep in mind their different background experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers must consider students' interests and individual needs.

# data[].attributes.body
The quality of instruction for diverse learners depends on the rate on which they learn depending on their age in variation to their grade level.

# data[].attributes.body
they grow with different parental styles than students from the past. Access to different types of resources.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's classrooms, teachers incorporate more interactive and collaborative activities for students.

# data[].attributes.body
The children of today are definitely more technologically-savvy than those from the past. As a consequence, they are exposed to a lot of information (sometimes not age-appropriate) and that affects their behavior and learning. Also, children of the past seemed to be more obedient and would conform to authority more than today. Students todays have more anxiety towards school and examinations due to heightened academic pressure.

# data[].attributes.body
They are more centered around technology.

# data[].attributes.body
We learn in different ways and that should influence us to be more flexible while teaching. As we progress, we also learn new ways to teach in an improved way.

# data[].attributes.body
Differentiation in scores among different types of activities. Where do students score better?

# data[].attributes.body
As educators, we should set the goals to meeting every students' needs. It is important to incorporate different teaching strategies/activities for the different learning styles that the students have.

# data[].attributes.body
Children are more knowledgeable on how to navigate technology better (tech savvy). They are more engaged when technology is implemented.

# data[].attributes.body
"The brain learns best when it can make its own sense out of information." For example making connections based off our prior experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
We can use their cultural identifiers and a variety of other assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
The students themselves. We should be able to create realtionships with our students in order to get to know them better.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are more technology advanced. They want to know more about what they are learning. Classrooms incorporate more apps and technology. Because of the use of technology, students will tend to get bored in class if we do not keep them on their toes.

# data[].attributes.body
Learner profile as it includes many documents, surveys, questionnaires, information about they way they learn, and their learning preferences.

# data[].attributes.body
Children's experiences are more diverse, more resources are being provided for learning such as increase in field trips and hands-on activities.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to consider the cultural identifiers and the overall background of students to be able to provide meaningful instruction.
Parents can be the guide to help your students succeed hence, it is important to maintain a strong relationship with them.

# data[].attributes.body
We all learn differently. As teachers, we must expose students to a variety of ways to learn and know how each of our students prefer to be taught.

# data[].attributes.body
Children in the past were not exposed to technology and as for students today they are more opened minded to the world around them.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we live in a world where it is so easy to access any type of information with the use of technology. In addition, parents working conditions have changed throughout time and parents work more so sometimes children might not have help with homework/projects.

# data[].attributes.body
Individuals learn by employing their previous knowledge towards new information in order to solidify such information into their long-term memory. The better an instructor understands the material they are tasked with teaching, the better they can deliver instruction to students. In other words, an awareness in child development and educational psychology better informs instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
It all goes back to their background, students should be respected by where they come from and the color of their skin and they should not be bullied for that.

# data[].attributes.body
We must consider that our diverse learners learn differently with an individualized plan.

# data[].attributes.body
The children today are different from those in the past because of the technological resources that are available in schools today. They have an advantage of learning a lot through technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Every individual learns in different ways (ex. Auditory learns, Visual learners, etc) therefore teaching should have different ways to target students learning

# data[].attributes.body
There are different types of learners, the way we learned may not be the way our students learn. Different types of strategies are used because all students learn differently. As teachers, we need to be ready to differentiate instruction for our students.

# data[].attributes.body
Students have different ways of learning and teachers can cater to the individual needs of students.

# data[].attributes.body
We can use surveys, questionnaires, or simply ask them questions orally to learn more about them and their unique backgrounds.

# data[].attributes.body
We all learn through different approaches. Some of us are visual learners, auditory learners, or hands on learners. The way we learn influences how we teach; we are more inclined to use techniques that work for us.

# data[].attributes.body
We can use questionnaires at the beginning of the year. Teachers can also talk to the parents or have one on one conversations with the students.

# data[].attributes.body
The parents would be a direct source for younger students. With some of the older students asking them directly would be the best source. Communication is key to finding out more information.

# data[].attributes.body
We all learn differently, but we should address each students' needs because all children do not learn the same way. We must have different teaching approaches to try and meet the needs of the students. For example, we should incorporate visual learning, kinesthetic learning, and other learning styles too.

# data[].attributes.body
The students are more globally aware than before in the past. Technology is more available for students than before. Students will be more prepared in the future than the generation that is right now.

# data[].attributes.body
Each student in the classroom will have a unique learning style. Some students can be auditory learners, visual learners, or kinesthetic learners. It is essential for educators to be familiar with the students’ learning styles in order to create compatible effective lesson plans. It is essential for a teacher to be familiar with how his or her students in the classroom learn in order to create the appropriate learning activities in the classroom with the appropriate tools. For example, ELL students work great when visuals are incorporated into the lesson because visuals is a universal form of communication.

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys and questionnaires are very helpful, these can help the teacher get to know their students on a deeper level (out of the classroom). Basically to find out the students' Cultural Identifiers which can affect students' education. Information taken from these surveys can be used in future lesson plans to effectively teach content.

# data[].attributes.body
To identify learners' diversity, we must look at their background, prior knowledge, and learning preferences.

# data[].attributes.body
We learn through reading, writing, listening, and through our personal experiences. By seeing what works for us and what does not work for us, we are influenced to teach that specific way. Visual representations are a great method to use in the classroom to benefit us as Educators as well as our students!!

# data[].attributes.body
Ask the students questions! I think that's the easiest way to get to know the background of any student. What their interests and disinterests are. This way it will give us an opportunity to know their needs, strengths and weaknesses.

# data[].attributes.body
All learn differently, and there are many components that can affect learning. Components such as the students background, race, economic status, personal life (parents in the picture) etc etc. Multiple intelligences should also be incorporated into lesson plans. There are activities that teachers can/should have students take part in that will help identify what type of learners they are. These activities will also help identify the students’ strengths and weaknesses.

# data[].attributes.body
the teacher can observe students during class to learn more about them. We can look at their work. We can also listen to the way that they speak and the vocabulary they use.

# data[].attributes.body
Parents are our main source for information since they know their child the best. Past teachers as well.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the easiest ways to get information about the students is by the use of formative assessments. Easy things such as thumbs up/down, or exit quizzes are some of the simple yet effective ways to get it.

# data[].attributes.body
A student portfolio that gathers their scores and documentation throughout.

# data[].attributes.body
A student's Generation is a great resource for understanding the social environment they grow up in

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can give a handout to survey student diversity and get to better know their pupils. Group activities among peers can also help identify demographics. It is also important to know the demographics of the school and community in general.

# data[].attributes.body
In addition to the students themselves, parents are key tools for understanding our pupils. Parents have known their children much longer than we have.

# data[].attributes.body
By asking questions. Make it a routine to get to know your students (not just at the beginning of the year). One of our members mentioned that in 2nd grade, her class would write a personal journal entry for 5-10 minutes every day, and the teacher would read them. It's important for teachers to stay connected with their students constantly so their learning development can be better facilitated.

# data[].attributes.body
Parents and previous teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers need to examine their own biases and be open-minded to the diversity of their students (especially in thought). Students should feel that the classroom is a safe space for all opinions and backgrounds to be welcomed and celebrated. Ongoing professional development in diversity education is good for the accomplishment of this goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Entrance/Exit tickets, performance activities, sharing discussions.

# data[].attributes.body
We can use different ways to teach for example visuals, hands-on activities, and help them use critical thinking skills so they can remember the content easier.

# data[].attributes.body
Depending on the age group, we can ask the students. We can also speak to previous teachers the students had.

# data[].attributes.body
Relatives play a big role in understanding your students in your classroom. You are able to see a glimpse of their family life and make deeper connections with each student.

# data[].attributes.body
A questionnaire that can be sent home for the parents and students.

# data[].attributes.body
Children are different for many reasons, back then a lot of students wouldn’t attend school due to working at such a young age, or because of disabilities. Now , there are still many reasons but that doesn't impede them from obtaining an education. Now there are many programs made for all types of needs, leaving no child behind. In today’s era technology is playing an important role in the classroom setting. Students have access to computers and Ipads in the classroom to do further investigation on certain topics.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can perform assessments to access their students prior knowledge to help justify their learning abilities.

# data[].attributes.body
We can use formative assessment during the lesson. We can also observe students as they work.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing the students background can be helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers must also consider students' interests, family situations, overall background.

# data[].attributes.body
Students learn through formative assessments. Some examples include: the carousel activity, think-pair-share, group activities, discussions, and many more!

# data[].attributes.body
The affective filters around the environment that may affect the students.

# data[].attributes.body
Medical history is important information to consider as Educators. As well as, having access to AWESOME applications like Class Dojo or Remind to stay in contact with parents and teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Educators can find information to identify learners' diversity by observation and questionnaires. By observing, a teacher can see which students learn through one way or another and questionnaires help the teacher see how students enjoy learning.

# data[].attributes.body
The students guardians, caregivers, and siblings can provide insight to students lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Easiest way to gather information about students is by having a portfolio for each student in the classroom. This will allow the teacher to see progress/lack of progress to improve student's achievement.

# data[].attributes.body
Student records are passed to teachers to know if there have certain challenges so the teachers can get an idea how to teach that specific student. Diversity does not only has to do with ethnicity it can be other factors.

# data[].attributes.body
Past teachers, siblings. For example, older siblings can tell their teachers about their younger siblings to give them ideas of how they are or if they struggle with something at home or at school.

# data[].attributes.body
Student portfolios will help keep your students information gathered together. Keep record of all their class work and test scores to track their progress. Also be sure to take note of the students learning preferences.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are the primary source. One can communicate with the students if they are old enough. If they are young, I think the educators can observe and identify what kind of students they are. However, another source is their parents when they meet with the educator on parent-teacher night.

# data[].attributes.body
You want to keep record of students medical history, accommodations they may need in class, or if the student is in special education keep their 504 on file as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The teacher can use an interactive class activity where students are able to share information about themselves in a fun way.

# data[].attributes.body
Asking questions in order to get to know students in order to cater to their needs and preferences. We also can look into the students background as well as identify any prior knowledge they have. Teachers may also give students questionnaires and surveys to find the students' interest.

# data[].attributes.body
The easiest way to gather information about our learners is to create a portfolio for the students. It is essential because as educators, we can see the progress of the students, what works and what does not work, and their performance. The documentation will help the teacher make accommodations to the individual students and their learning. It is also important to keep records of students who are in 504.

# data[].attributes.body
Journals, autobiography, describe yourself assignments.
Observations like their behavior reaction to material given

# data[].attributes.body
Reflect on how to improve the teaching of the students to help their specific needs.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to have a good student-teacher connection and a good communication with parents to better understand students needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Past generations, parents, their teachers, their own peers & the community.

# data[].attributes.body
Something to consider is how students interpret information based on their backgrounds.

# data[].attributes.body
Parents and teachers should work together to help the student succeed in their education.

# data[].attributes.body
Get To Know Me activities in the start of the year can be very beneficial to connect lesson units with students' interest

# data[].attributes.body
Every student learns in a different way and we should consider the learning styles of all students. Every student differs in their abilities and strengths. Diverse learners have different backgrounds, ethnicities, languages, races, learning styles, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is a great factor of this. In the past, children would get all of their information from books, and now students have numerous sources available when searching the internet.

# data[].attributes.body
8 different types of intelligences 
Verbal-linguistic
Logical-mathematical
Visual-spatial
Bodily-kinesthetic 
Musical-rhythmic
Interpersonal 
Intrapersonal 
Naturalistic 
Existential *new* 
Sternberg says there were 3: practical, creative, and analytical 
Different types of intelligences influence the way we teach because we must differentiate instruction. Teachers should create abundant opportunities for students to learn. 

# data[].attributes.body
We can use the different cultural identifiers such as race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion, gender, sexual orientation and language in order to identify learners’ diversity. This will help teachers understand the background of each student and make any accommodations if needed.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers may keep student’s profiles or have portfolios that include the several students docs, surveys, checklists, etc. which state a learner’s preferences and detailed information.
