Cultural Diversity

Picture
Teaching cultural diversity within the classroom will make me more aware of the students' cultures.  Each student has their own uniqueness and will be different from one another.  I am committed to be that teacher who will have an equitable classroom enviroment and help each student learn.

Cultural Experience
One way of becoming more aware of culture is to have that experience yourself.  That is what I did by attending a seminar on Poverty 101.  This simulation activity is intended to teach citizens to aquire food with limited resources.  This essay includes how we can empathize with this character.
