Diversity is always present in the classroom and we as prospective teachers have to develop plans to deal with such issues. There are many ways in which we can deal with diverse behaviors. Some of these which I would implement in my classroom will be explained further down in this essay.
Firstly I would use cognitive interventions for example canter and assertive discipline, i-messages and so on. When I am carrying out instructions in my classroom I would be sure to have verbal and non-verbal congruence meaning that what I say will match positively with my body language so students would know to stop a certain behavior and pay attention.

However, approximately 47% of participants surveyed believed they are supplied with the necessary tools and resources to accommodate diverse student performance.

    . All in all, I learned that the MSJC Child Development and Education Center classroom’s environment reflected diversity in classroom by the toys, and materials that were throughout the centers of the classroom. Though the classroom’s environment lack on reflecting the socioeconomic in some dramatic play material, pictures and posters on the classroom’s walls, and books, the classroom did mirrored the four lens of culture, family, diverse ability, and gender that are important to children’s development as a whole child.

    Diversity has become an increasingly bigger matter in both the classroom setting and the church setting. There are many different people of different backgrounds and ways of life in all aspects of our world. This poses a challenge to teachers to be able to get their curriculum across to their students, while also being mindful and accommodating to those who may need a little extra attention.

    Teachers are versatile, not only in subject but in job requirements. Over the course of my fifteen plus hours of observing I found one thing that stuck out most often each day, a teacher’s job is of course to teach, but also learn each day. The degree only will take a teacher so far, educational classes teach the basics, and provided the guidelines to help students turn into teachers, but it is not matter of hours or training that makes a teacher great, it is the ability to adopt. Again, not to just subject matter, or every changing state requirements, or even the administration 's own rules. The adaptation that is most profoundly important is how a teacher communicates with each student.…

    When most individuals hear the word diversity they immediately relate the word to race. Although diversity has somewhat to do with race, I believe that diversity is any difference an individual may have. Diversity includes temperament; gender; a range of language, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; differences in ability, cognitive styles, and learning preferences; and students with disabilities. As a future educator I will serve as a cultural mediator to guide students to think critically about diversity, reduce bias, and promote acceptance and understanding among diverse students.…

I look forward to expanding and deepening my understanding of issues such as, poverty, racism, abuse, gender inequality, and LGBTQ concerns. Some of which I have and awareness of but not necessarily a deep understanding. For this reason I found that the quote from Einid Lee “those with more privilege have much to learn from listening to those with less” resonated with me, increasing my desire to learn from people who have lived such experiences. I was having a conversation with a Second year about her practicum placement and she mentioned some of the challenges…
