I really enjoyed reading this article. I completely agree with the statement that, "Becoming aware of our own culture is the first step. By understanding our own beliefs, we are able to have a better understanding and appreciate cultural differences" (pg. 6). Schools need to take the step of allowing and celebrating other cultures, besides what is most popular or what is the majority. It does not matter what a student looks like, or where the school is located, every student has a different family history and background.
This article outlined many situations to consider when teaching a diverse classroom. Teachers and administration need to be made aware of these diversities that take place in their classrooms, and then form their curriculum, lessons, and units to celebrate these diversities. It is extremely important for students to be aware of, celebrate, and learn about their own culture, and the ones in which their fellow students belong to as well.
