Three strategies to increase diversity, inclusion and cultural awareness in classroom settings are summarized. Reflect on ONE of the strategies described in the reading. (
If you are a teacher, where do you recognize an opportunity to include greater attention to any of the strategies across your curriculum? Is there an area of diversity you feel is neglected in any part of your teaching approach? In your reflection, consider why this omission might exist. Is it a function of time constraints, discomfort, or perhaps a lack of resources to improve the situation? How can the issue be helped or at least minimized?
If you are not a teacher (or are new to teaching), think about your personal educational history. Do you remember a time when a teacher did not address or make an attempt to redress an issue of diversity, inclusion, or cultural awareness in the class? Drawing from the Ruggs and Hebl reading, how do you think the teacher should have improved the situation? What strategies do you know about today, would have likely improved the educational experience you had?
