Reflection On Race And Ethnicity
Race and Ethnicity Reflection
Introduction
Race and ethnicity are important factors that influence the diversity of the school. According to an
article by Hawley and Nieto (2010), race and ethnicity affect both how students respond to instruction
and opportunities to learn. By understanding the races and ethnic backgrounds of the students,
administrators may promote a supportive school environment, while educators promote a positive
learning community and differentiate lessons to meet the needs of all students, regardless of race and
ethnic culture. Also, through understanding the diverse backgrounds, teachers and students may
develop a "trusting relationship" by respecting cultural backgrounds, avoid stereotyping, adapting
instructions to meet needs, and build on prior knowledge of the students (Hawley & Nieto, 2010).
Race and ethnicity may impact a school district through developing instructional practices to enhance
learning, influencing teachers to connect with parents and create engaging lessons for their classes,
and allow collaboration among administration and teachers to support students, no matter their race.
Developing practices and Differentiated Lessons for All Students Race and ethnicity impact how
teachers create lessons and assessments for students. According to the article from Hawley and Nieto
(2010), teaching should be adapted to students' learning styles (pg.68). All students demonstrate the
ability to learn a new concept in class, whether seeing the concept visually, listening and repeating
through voice, a hands–on project, or through the use of technology. As teachers plan and prepare
lessons for their students, they must consider the races and ethnic backgrounds of the students, as
well as their learning styles in order to meet their needs. As a professional educator, I have had the
experience of working with students with all kinds of learning styles. By understanding the ethnic
backgrounds and learning ability of my students, I would create lessons and materials that were
appropriate for all learners in my math classes, such as step–by–step notes for my visual and low
learners, repetition of concepts and formulas for the auditory learners, and using algebra tiles or
