- Teachers design lessons to meet the needs of diverse learners, adapting methods when appropriate. 

- Teachers differentiate instruction, aligning methods and techniques to divers student needs, including acceleration, remediation, and implementation of individual education plans. 

- Teachers create a community of learners in an inclusive environment that views differences in learning and background as educational assets.

Whether it be for movements such as Black Lives Matter or in terms of Abortion laws. It is important to ensure that they learn about what is happening and yearn to want to make a change. We can create activities to help them gain a better understanding about these issues as well as maybe organizing protests or watching videos.

Teachers should provide preparation that will tend the EL's ability, special needs, linguistic, and cultural needs of students simultaneously.

One characteristic is educators teaching using the students' cultural and experiential filters.

Which focuses on the differences between students and allows for acceptance as educators cannot discriminate based on said differences. Students are unique and all have different needs and as educators we need to respect and help in anyway that we can.

My opinion of a multicultural curriculum includes different aspects of a culture like the history, beliefs, and values as well as teaching students about race and ethnicity. By showing diversity in the classroom students will know how to properly interact with students that are from different cultures in the class and outside the classroom as well. What the curriculum should focus on one culture because all cultures are equally important.

This prevents false information and downplayed information to be taught to children. For instance, the truth about Christopher Columbus has still been hidden and sugar-coated for years, and children believe Christopher Columbus discovered the Americans when he did not.

Although we understand why some facts are censored, due to age categories, as they grow older, teachers should teach the proper facts of history. As much we should protect our children from the outside world, we should prepare them for the hardships as well. ]]> 2021-10-27 18:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849157798 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849158769 A multicultural classroom is class where several cultures are spoken about and respected. As well as showing no form of discrimination to any culture, race, or gender, etc. Multicultural classrooms also speak about the history of other countries and cultures, providing students with a greater perspective of the world outside of their own bubble. A multicultural classroom is not supposed to provide only one perspective or focus on patriotic history. Multicultural classrooms should not show stereotypes or false information that incriminates a group.]]> 2021-10-27 18:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849158769 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849160059 Culture varies based on the student, the individual. Each child should be taught through the basis of their culture. Use their culture to help understand the teachings better.

Building learning communities and communicating with ethnically diverse students are an important part of culturally responsive teaching, and it is important for the teacher to use these cultural diversities as an advantage rather than a disadvantage. Misconceptions may stem from the fact that teachers might not know about what a specific ethnic group has contributed to the subject being taught, so it is important for the teacher to be aware of this to provide an optimal learning environment.]]> 2021-10-27 18:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849161679 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849162517 teacher take students cultural experiences to teach and be the cultural translators.

It is about connecting as one and not pretending there is no set lines. In the article it speaks on involving controversy in a good way rather than looking away from it pretending it does not exist. Building a relationship with the students will help with this way of teaching as it will bond the classroom. Classrooms speak on several different lessons on diversity, making it relevant will help out and help educators learn how to address this. ]]> 2021-10-27 18:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849167557 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849177697 A way we can promote social justice in our classrooms is by educating our students about social justice issues. By treating everyone with equity to get to the same goal, we bring social justice into schools. this creates a safe and secure environment within the schools. This is also correlated with how schools are treated and funded, if all schools are treated equitably, then all the children, from all the schools, get the attention, funding, and opportunities they deserve. This is because in the end, every school is after the same goal, therefore we should do everything in out power to get each one to that end point.]]> 2021-10-27 18:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849177697 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849218493 In order to promote social justice in the classroom, it is important to practice embracing your students and accepting their ideas and different cultures into the lesson. This is important because it helps and teaches students to be culturally aware with the other types of cultures that they may be around. (This can tie back to the idea of stopping only one story being told, which in turn can result in a kinder and more culturally aware lifestyle.)]]> 2021-10-27 18:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1849218493 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850138381 A social challenge that we have seen is that ESL students are often made fun of for their accent. They often feel isolated and excluded because they don't understand the language that the people around them speak. ELL students are more likely to come from a low income family and they have a higher dropout rate. ELL students need additional academic support since they struggle taking tests in a new language. ]]> 2021-10-28 03:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850138381 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850160087 An example of promoting multicultural education involves the teacher encouraging the exploration of different cultural perspectives. Teachers should encourage their students to be openminded about other's cultures and to appreciate them. A specific example can be to celebrate a tradition from another culture in the classroom and encourage students to bring food from that culture. ]]> 2021-10-28 03:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850160087 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850185132 we feel the most important one is the one that says "evidence of proactive and positive contact with students and parents with regular and timely communication." Parents should be encouraged to be involved in their child's life. They should know when their child is falling behind in class and how much they have progressed in the classroom. The teacher should talk about the student's achievements with their parents and positive experiences. With positive communication between parents and educators, the student will trust the teacher and be more motivated. ]]> 2021-10-28 03:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850185132 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850217678 A teacher can promote social justice in their classroom by turning on the news in class since it talks about world issues such as the refugee crisis, gun violence and food insecurity. Then, the teacher can have a class discussion about the topics that came out on the news. The teacher can also bring in guest speakers such as people who work in non profits that serve minorities and the underserved. Social justice can be promoted in campus by hosting donation drives for a charity. Social justice can be promoted with our actions by joining organizations that relate to social justice and volunteering. We can all promote social justice by raising awareness about social justice issues by posting about them on social media and educating ourselves.]]> 2021-10-28 03:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850217678 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850252357 Our opinion is that the curriculum should focus on teaching the true history. The history that is currently being taught in classrooms is biased and attempts to erase the suffering that minorities have gone through. Students should be taught information that is accurate and detailed. Students are fed with lies in histroy classrooms and sometimes once they are adults they are disappointed knowing that what they learned was not true.]]> 2021-10-28 03:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850252357 https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850320793 Culturally relevant pathology is culture. It is our beliefs, language, and values. It is or foundation, what makes us human. When it comes to education, educators are considered the "bridge" in the classroom. Educators serve students on a daily with different cultural backgrounds and the educator makes appropriate linkages between what the student know and do as well as their understanding of the world around them. Educators make the connections. In doing so the educator teaches the student to be culturally aware and in doing so students become respectful towards each others differences. ]]> 2021-10-28 04:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cynsosa/2210wk10_21/wish/1850320793
