A student's ability and cognitive ability should not be limited if the instruction is fully in 'english' and english is a student's 2nd or 3rd language.  A student can fully comprehend course concepts, learning materials, studying materials, etc. with general ESL services, tutoring, and general guidance that keeps in mind how their brain processes material and other skill processing factors.

When a student is grouped into a 'racial' bias by an instructor, and it takes on a negative perception like bias or an idea that the student is less capable, it can be very alienating for a student.  An example is if an instructor groups a student who has English as a 2nd language as a 'slower learner' or not able to keep up with the rest of the class.  We should never place cultural or racial perceptions on students.

Working with a diverse student body requires looking pass a person's age, cultural background, religious beliefs, and other factors to support their education goals.  Embracing that each student should be seen as unique and valued is important to ensure inclusion.
