First colleague post
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to conduct informal interviews with two educators whose cultural backgrounds are different from my own. The selection of these two educators was made because of the years of experience and their attitudes towards students in and out of the classroom; both enjoy helping students reach long and short-term academic goals. The first educator Mrs. Sandy has been teaching several subjects in the elementary and middle school sector for over ten years. She shared a fair amount of information with me about her experiences and thoughts about cultural issues surrounding curriculum, instruction, and assessment in the classroom. The second educator Mrs. Harris has been teaching in the elementary school system for approximately fifteen years and showed her passion for the support of district goals and student achievement for culturally diverse students with various learning disabilities.
In listening to each teacher refer to the genders, race, economic statuses, language and religious backgrounds of their classroom setting; I could relate to some of the stressful moments they encountered on a daily basis. In their attempt to promote the understanding and respect for cross-cultural variances with students; everyone feels uncomfortable. They both stated that the most difficult task in the instruction was talking to the class about stereotypes and prejudices brought out in discussions to assist students with sustaining tolerance for each other's diversities. This was achieved after some time and the harmony, respect, peace and cohesion of the class began to thrive after the weekly cultural orientations.
Effective strategies were implemented within the curriculum throughout the school day to not only help students, but to relieve teachers as well. The teachers began to discuss and display each minority group's contributions through pictures, word walls, readings, artifacts, and videos. F ...

Her dedication was contagious. Beyond her exceptional work ethic, Michala was impressive in her analytical skills. It was clear from her coursework that Michala not only understood the material, but she processed it at a higher level, evaluating concepts for theoretical utility and application. She regularly set the curve on assignments and exams. Michala is unique in that she strives to extend the knowledge gained in the classroom to applied contexts in ways that bridge academia and real world situations. While at California State University, Long Beach, Michala was engaged with her peers and immersed herself in the campus culture.
