Inter-cultural communication is the way to go!

Sensitivity toward all genders, and assure every student is included in class instruction.

Comment on Julie Williams's post: Agreed, Julie. 

Stereotyping is generally more exclusive than helpful. 

This was a pretty great course. It helped remind me of my mission statement and what I want to bring to the classroom everyday. 

It’s important to be reflective.  Also knowing the differences between learning preferences and learning challenges.  Providing content in a variety of learning styles will reach more students. 

Just because someone is learning ESL or as a new language, we cannot assume where they are in the process and how it is/will affect their learning.  We need to learn more about these students on a personal level and give them the time and resources that can help them succeed.  

Acknowledging the cultural differences and the impact it has on a person personally is important.  We do not want to diminish the culture or the impact it has on a student.

It’s important to be aware of my own biases and stereotypes.  Providing a safe and inclusive environment will ensure the success of students.  

IT is very obvious that teaching generation Y,Z can help also teach the boomers, and generational technical knowledge which they can learn from their peers.
