Incorporating What I've Learned into the Classroom

The most challenging aspect of teaching for me is addressing cultural diversity.  In my classroom setting, cultural diversity extends far beyond geographical lines, so I find myself trying to identify and build an academic relationship.  What I plan to do in order to become more diversified is to, of course, do what research I can to understand how to reach/teach all students.  But, I also plan to create an open atmosphere in the classroom to allow time and space for more conversation and dialogue to broaden not only my view, but other classmates' views and perspectives on other cultures.

When using teaching tools, such as images and videos, I try to incorporate as much diversity as possible so that many cultures, especially those of the students, are represented within the learning setting. During class discussions, I encourage the students to share with the class their role models/life experiences so that we can all improve our cultural IQ.
