Different backgrounds and experiences affect education. If you are teacher you especially know what I mean. We have all had those students. We know they have potential but they are so hard to reach. You are only one person and a 6 hour school day is hardly enough to give individual time to all 25 students. How can we reach those students who are most in need of our attention? It’s a must regardless of age and it’s never too late. We must never give up on those who struggle to keep up, display disruptive behaviors, or simply check out. No one comes from the same starting points and to reach those we relate to the least, diversity is the answer. Traditional lesson plans simply don’t cut it in today’s diverse classrooms. In order to make a difference we must learn to think in a different way. Innovation is the key. This blog is intended to help educators find that key and use it to unlock the potential of all students.
“Diversity: the art of thinking
independently together.”
