About Me
I am currently a student at the University of South Alabama. I transferred to this school in January 2010 after completing two years at Southeastern Louisiana University. At Southeastern Louisiana University, I was majoring in Early Childhood Education. At the University of South Alabama, I am working towards getting my degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education. I want to become a Pre-K teacher once I graduate.
Teaching in a Multicultural Diversity
The society that we live in has many diverse cultures within it. Teachers have to be able to teach in this type of society. In order to do this they first need to self-reflect and find their own racial identity development. They also then need to create a great relationship with everyone of their students. They should have a personal and trusting relationship with each one. They need to know each one of their students to know how each one of them learns best. They should also have high expectations for each one of their students. If they have high expectations then their students will have something to live up to. They also need to focus on cultural competence. The teacher should be incorporating all cultures and have the attention of all students. It is important for teachers to be able to teach in a diverse society so that no students get left behind and become unsuccessful. Teachers are a major part of children's lives and just one teacher can make a huge change in a child's life. That is why it is important for teachers to have the highest expectations for everyone of their students.
