Promoting Multiculturalism and Diversity Using Your Classroom Focus on High School Math and Science Classrooms
Ideas, Tips, and Best Practices • Makecross-curricularconnections with other subjects • Decoratewith newspapers articles or cartoons that are relevant to your subject area • Use art or other mediums to allow students to express themselves in a new way • Post information about careers relatedto your subject area • Decorate with historical or cultural information related to your subject area • Postreal-world examples related to your subject area • Use celebrations such as Earth Day and Pi Day as teaching moments • Decorate with your teaching supplies and make the room interactive
Make Cross-Curricular Connections Cross-Curricular Connections with Chemistry (students and teachers can add their own CCCs in this interactive bulletin board) Students “Blow Up” Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh during an Algebra I lesson on proportions
Use Newspaper Articles and Cartoons Science Cartoons in the Chemistry Hallway Articles Related to Math in an Algebra Classroom
Use Art in Math and Science Mountain Projects Using Linear Equations in Algebra I Endangered Species Displays in Biology
Display Information About Subject-Related Careers Math and science are used in careers outside of the educational field! Contact your school’s career counselor to find out more!
Decorate with Historical or Cultural Information This bulletin board displays the origins and developments within the field of mathematics dating back to 35,000 BC and is located in a Calculus and Algebra I classroom. The bulletin board is also used to identify countries/locations during the “Math in the News” segment in Algebra I giving it an additional use inside the classroom.
Post Real-World Examples Students in Algebra II Learn About Buying a Car
Use Celebrations • Students in Ecology Describe Earth Day Quotes Using Illustrations • Pi Day • Shakespeare’s Birthday
Decorate with Your Teaching Supplies Ecology students collect data and monitor the lifecycles of trout (see them in the tiny cage in the top left) starting from fingerlings until they are full grown and released into the wild. Ecology students use the rock tumbler and mineral and rock charts in class. Ideas for a Math Classroom: Create a whispering wall to teach quadratic relations
