I have been made aware of the fact that diversity effects all parts of everyone's life. Each individual's thoughts are important, as well as their perceptions, and both effect learning. I will attempt to teach the curriculum in a variety of ways so that different learning styles with benefit as well.

Faculty learning skills are always evolving. 

Building cultural competency in the learning environment starts with treating others fairly, respectfully, and with dignity.  Communication is very important, and let's not forget body language.  Patience helps to build students' confidence.  Utilize good listening skills and be observant of individual needs.  Essential to remember that learning styles are different. 

Both Gen Z and Gen Y learners like to stay active in their learning, they are both used to growing up with technology that incorporated that into teaching will help them gain knowledge.

It is important for instructors to stay on top of new technology since this is what is out there in the world, it is important for students to gain knowledge in the new state of the art.

This course was a good reminder that every generation has a learning style that they adapt to the best, as instructors we must keep an open mind and have diversity teaching methods to be able to target any generation in our classroom.

It is important to understand all the generations as they each have specific ways in which they learn best.

This idea of accommodating does not mean watering down the material. Rather the idea/concept is to make sure that each student is successful and that might mean a different type of instruction. The UDL standards are used more widely now than before.

I learned how people with learning disabilities can receive accomidations in the classroom. 

I learned about the different learning disabilities that exist and how to better understand the students in my classroom each day.
