Diversity Article

Abstract:
The article we read for assignment was called Diversity, Learning Style, and Culture and it was written by Pat Burke Guild. This article mainly talked about diversity in all aspects of students and learning in the classroom. Students are not only diverse racially, or economically, but also by different learning styles. We are all different by which we learn, think, behave, and conceptualize. In order to accommodate for these differences we must, as teachers, be willing to have diverse styles of teaching. Not every student is the same, thus teachers must not treat every student the same. This is the best way to maximize learning for every student.


Reflection:
After reading this article, I began to reflect on the multiple things my education professors have preached over the past three years about diversity. This article did a good job of summing up what they’ve been saying in each and every education class. We, as teachers, need to be able to reach all students, and we must be able to do that in different ways. This is so because there is so much diversity in every classroom as the article spoke upon, that for every student to reach their full potential teachers must be willing be diverse themselves. This was a great article to re-enforce the ideas my education professors have instilled the past three years.
