    This document discusses the challenges of teaching in a diverse classroom. It notes that teachers must understand that every student has a unique background and learns differently. The classroom curriculum and lessons should be tailored to meet the individual needs of all students. A student's culture, which includes their language, religion, beliefs, and values, influences how they learn. Teachers must accommodate different cultures as well as racial and ethnic backgrounds. The biggest challenge mentioned is accepting LGBT students and addressing harassment. The school location can impact issues like sexism and stereotyping of female or minority students and teachers. To foster acceptance, teachers should find culturally responsive activities and not favor any one group, instead focusing on each student's character.

    Diversity in the Classroom

    Teaching in a diverse classroom can be very challenging. Teachers should


    understand that every student has their own background, beliefs and customs. Therefore,
    each student learns differently because each student is an individual. When the teacher is
    more aware of each student and their personality then the curriculum and lessons can be
    made to meet the needs of all the students. The classroom can be run more efficiently.
    Educators must be informed and opened to many cultures in which their students
    belong. The culture of a student influences practically every aspect of their life. It shapes
    their identity, beliefs, behaviors, and the way they learn. Their culture can be tied to their
    geographical region and has influences on their language, religion, beliefs and values.
    Not only do educators have to accommodate for their students cultures but also
    their racial and/or ethnical background. Ethnicity is referred to a membership in a group
    with a common cultural tradition or common national origin, while race is a classification
    that is not typically chosen but is instead assigned by others and defined mostly by a
    persons physical characteristics. Each student is asked about his or her racial and/or
    ethnical background information for forms for school enrollment. This information serves
    many purposes, such as monitoring equal opportunities in education and employment and
    tracking school desegregation.

    Teachers face many problems as well as opportunities in classrooms where


    students from different cultures, races and groups come together. As public schools
    become more diverse, demands increase to find the most effective ways to help all
    students succeed academically as well as to learn to get along with each other. I think the
    biggest problem coming up in classrooms is the acceptance of the LBGT community.
    Many people believe that sexuality is not a matter to the schools, however many student
    are coming to terms with their homosexuality. The lack of discussion in classrooms about
    homosexuality creates feelings of isolation and otherness for gay and lesbian students by
    the increased harassment they obtain from other students and sometimes teachers.
    I feel that the geographical location of the school depicts the types of problems
    that are faced in the classroom. In schools where males create the majority of students
    females, as the minority, can face sexist language towards them, sexual harassment, and
    can be placed in stereotypic or despairing views of women. However, I feel that students
    are not the only ones in the classroom that can face problems. If there is more than one
    teacher in a classroom with a different ethnical background, the teacher can be singled
    out and faced with isolation, exclusion, and racism from the other teachers.
    Being an educator in a classroom the students look up to you and over time they
    will start following your lead. As a teacher if you can find activities and instructions that
    are culturally responsive for all students, while not favoring one group over another, can
    have a positive influence on students. Getting students to focus on a persons personality,
    qualifications, interest and work ethnic rather than making assumptions about an
    individual based on their characteristics can help students accept other cultures and their
    peers in the classroom.
