I have learned quite a bit about the growth of each generation as time has gone by. The amazing part to me is that each generation can learn from the other on how important each individual prefers to learn rather on what is expected of how each generation learns. 

I’ve learned to differentiate race and culture and how to apply knowledge of both when creating lesson plans. I also have become more aware of these terms when selecting supplementary material. Acknowledging rather than avoiding the conversation will help further student awareness as well. 

By focusing on each student as an individual, the entire group will ultimately succeed. I intend to use this principle while prepping for instruction and selecting supplemental material.

Every student is different, with different experiences, backgrounds, and learning styles, therefore, each students learns differently and brings to the table a unique perspective. The best thing about this concept is that we can all learn from each other.

Students have both learning difficulties and learning preferences. Being able to marry the two together to help each student be successful is important for professors to accomplish.

The difference between language and literacy, and how students can be literate with spoken/written words, but not necessarily academic words. Being able to meet students where they are, with appropriate resources, is important with all students.

Distinguishing between race and culture, and being able to speak inter-culturally to students rather than cross-culturally is important for their success in a classroom.

Being able to reach individual students instead of the class as a whole by using different teaching techniques and asking the students' preferences will allow the best learning environment for all students to succeed.

Include diversification of instruction and the sharing of information.

Each and every person is of value and has worth.
