Here is a short video for you to watch about the importance of diversity in the classroom. The video from above was posted by Mary Donegan on Feburary 6, 2013. The song used in this video is "Wavin' Flag" K'NAAN.
In my Ed Tech and Design class we meet for lecture every Monday and on one particular day one of the instructors Magda Galloway gave a lecture about Diversity in the Classroom/Media Influences. I found this topic to be very interesting because in the school I grew up in it was 98% Caucasian so I did not have much diversity in my classrooms growing up. Now that I am at UNI there are many different diverse groups of people. As I have grown up diversity in the classroom has always been a large topic. The media has always had something to say about diversity in the classroom weather it be good or bad. I believe that everyone should have the right to fair and equal education along with treatment in the classroom no matter your ethnic background. As a future educator it is my responsibility to promote diversity in the classroom to young and old while treating everyone equally. I believe a person should not be judged just by the color of their skin, and that they have every right to succeed just as much as the next person.
On my professional Pinterest I follow a particular page that focuses on how to incorporate diversity in the classroom. On this page you can find all different kinds of activities to do in class with students that have to do with diversity and so much more. The activities can be beneficial to teaching students to have a positive outlook on diversity in the classroom but also in society as they grow up. You can find the page called Kid World Citizenship on Pinterest at this link! https://www.pinterest.com/kidworldcitizen/
