My Project

My Project

Cultural diversity in the classroom is on the rise.

In 2014, U.S. public schools hit a minority-majority milestone with Latino, African-American, and Asian students having surpassed the number of white students. In 2044, the U.S. Census predicts that over half of the nation’s population will be people of color, so this trend will likely continue.

In our increasingly diverse and multicultural society, it’s more important than ever for teachers to incorporate culturally responsive instruction in the classroom -- whether teaching elementary school, middle school, or high school students.

The fadeless paper, International flags, cookies, mints, chips, Multicultural postcards, and other healthy snacks will help keep my students healthy and eager to learn in an environment that they are comfortable in. The increase in diversity doesn’t only relate to race and ethnicity; it can include students of different religions, economic statuses, sexual orientation, gender identity, and language background.
