  • Title: Embracing Diversity in the Classroom: A Resource Guide for New Teachers

    As a teacher leader or school administrator, you may be responsible for mentoring new teachers who join the staff. Helping these new teachers understand the school climate and the composition of your student body will prepare these teachers for some of the unique challenges that may exist in your school culture. For this task, you will create an informational, multi-page handout or brochure for a group of new teachers in your school.
    Begin by providing a brief introduction or overview of what diversity in the classroom means in your community and your school setting. Does your school have a mission statement addressing diversity? If so, include it in your introduction. If not, develop one for this assignment. Reflect on the importance of establishing a school and classroom climate that honors diversity and supports the success of all students. (1-2 paragraphs, including the mission statement)
    Next, you will create an alphabetical diversity dictionary relevant to your school community. As this is an informational handout and not an APA paper, you may include pictures or graphics to enhance the document. You will define and describe in detail five different groups of students, associated challenges, and suggestions for curriculum modification or classroom intervention that teachers must be prepared to make. The point of this assignment is to develop a working document you can add to over time and use as an educational tool in your own school community. You may choose from the following groups or identify other groups relevant to your school community: 1) English language learners (ELLs); 2) students of various races, cultures, ethnicities; 3) gender, sexual orientation; 4) socioeconomic status; 5) varying physical abilities; 6) cognitive levels of functioning; 7) religious beliefs; 8) other groups relevant to your community (ask your instructor if you are unsure.)

    One example of an appropriate curricular modification
    1-2 supplemental resources (books, articles, websites, etc.)
