  2. How Would It Feel To Suddenly Be Dropped Into A New Cultural Setting?

  3. Where We Are Going… • Objectives • To understand how it feels to be different in a tradition classroom setting • To develop strategies to teach a diverse student population • To look on student differences as a resource and learn how individuals in a diverse classroom can benefit the instruction of all students • Essential Question • How can understanding students from different backgrounds help us to grow as educators?

  4. Spectrum of Multicultural Instructional Approaches • Contributions Approach Reflects the surface level of culture—such as celebrating holidays—but does not provide an in-depth student of more profound cultural elements. • Additive Approach Incorporates multiple perspectives when investigating a topic—like looking at a historical event from a different cultural viewpoint—but the addition is incidental to instruction and the curriculum remains largely unchanged. • Transformative Approach In this approach examining cultural and ethic differences drives instruction—understanding the concepts, events , issues and perspectives is key to learning the content being presented. • Decision-making/Social Action Approach Is designed to engage students in a project or activity that encourages students to learn about multicultural issues, evaluate it from various cultural points of views and take action on those conclusions in the interest of social justice.

According to the National Center for Educational Statistics the general population has grown 9% from 1993 to 2003, while the ELL population has grown 65% in that same time. The ELL student population now comprises 10% of all students. By 2030, projections estimate that ELL students will make up 40% of all students in elementary and secondary schools. That means in a class of 30 students 12 students may have no idea what you are saying.

In a half page paper, write a detailed plan of how you would participate in an activity that would help you to learn more about a new culture. Look at some examples: • Attend a cooking class to learn about another culture’s cuisine • Learn to play a game from another country • Go to a dance class and learn about the dance traditions and music of the country that dance originated from • Attend a service at a place of worship of a religion you are unfamiliar with and learn about their traditions • Plan an outing to a foreign food restaurant, look up a menu and learn about the foods and plan what you will order in advance • Extra credit will be given for students who choose to carry out their plan and share their experiences with the rest of the class. • Check Your Email To Find Some Websites That Will Help Get You Started!
