The diverse classroom presents both challenges and opportunities;
educators must face dealing with language diversity and the impact of
the immigrant population on our schools and classrooms. Current
educational law mandates equal outcomes for all students as well as a
culturally responsive curriculum. Concepts of diversity can go beyond
ethnic and religious differences to include physical and intellectual
limitations or issues related to socioeconomic status, gender and
education level. Through research, readings and discussion, students
will examine how America's classrooms are changing to accommodate
diversity. Lesson planning and curriculum development strategies will
be presented. Teachers must be prepared to meet the needs of diverse
learners and understand the impact student diversity has on classroom
and pedagogical techniques (formerly Diverse Classrooms: 21st
Century).
