    I will not be shy to ask for assistance in gaining a deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, routines or practices and work in partnership with Aboriginal Education Officers (Echo360, 2010). AITSL Standard 1.4 recommends graduate teachers develop strategies for teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children (AITSL, 2014). Teachers working with Aboriginal children strictly caution against strategies, such as, student centred learning that focus on passive learning environments, questioning student’s competence and independent learning (Echo360, 2010a). Suitable teaching strategies include co-operative learning practices that involve small, large or whole group activities, constructive feedback that does not shame or distress students in an active learning environment (Harrison & Sellwood, 2016).…

    I should reconsider my career choice of a chief diversity officer. The article, Experiences of Women of Color University Chief Diversity Officers (Nixon, M. L., 2016) uncovered the immense pressures both personally and professionally that women of color face in their quest to serve as catalyst for diversity in institutions of higher learning. The qualitative study conducted semi structured interviews with five women of color and to determine if the equities experienced relating to being chief diversity officers were a result of their race, gender or an intersectionality of both. The article explores the idea that these women often were in roles of leadership, by virtue of title, however their social identities as women of color and profession isolated them to being outsiders to the institution as a whole (Nixon, 2016). Women of color are more likely to be appointed chief diversity officers, however these tend to be token appointments with minimal authority and extraordinary performance standards.…

    One thing as a teacher you have to be culturally competent, you have to know about your student and their background. By knowing your student, their family, their culture, you will know more about why the student is the way he or she is and why they do things the way they do. Teachers can always do research to get to know their students, to get to know the family.

If I was an educator of children of a different race I would promote heritage and awareness in the school setting by doing activities that their culture did and maybe make a dish that is made by that specific culture and we could read some stories about some people from their heritages that made a difference or a mark in history.…

    There are many community resources I will access to assist me in addressing the parental and community concerns of Success Middle School. As a school building leader, it is essential that I am aware of how to “mobilize community resources…to show my appreciation and use for diverse cultural, social and intellectual resources” (ELCC 4.2).

    DeVany identified the fifteen roles that leaders play in order to manage performance and accountability of a team and its members. However, based on experience, one can believe that when working in any specific team environment, the manager cannot conceivably play all these roles at an effective level.

The first part of managing a team with diverse personalities is knowing which personalities complement each other and the team.…

    As people look at others around them and guess what cultural background they come from without knowing, in most cases, they are either slightly off or on the opposite end of the spectrum. Most everyone has been guilty by their assumptions of race or ethnicity at some point. When interviewing John Killingbeck, a twenty-year-old student at SIUe, I learned that he has background that surprised and interested me immediately. I recently met John and was aware that he was Latino, but I did not know enough of his unique cultural background. He was born and raised a United States citizen.…
