11. EFFECTS OF
SOCIO- CULTURAL DIVERSITY
1.Structured classroom activities can highlight diversity. In a classroom the
teacher can structure learning groups that are diverse and devise activities that
require each student to contribute to the group. In this way students learn that
each person in a group can contribute and has something of value to say.
2.Mutual respect is part of the equation. Teachers should never tolerate
disrespect. They should establish ground rules for the class, and even let the
kids help to establish these rules.
3.No Child Left Behind shines the light on achievement gaps among
diverse groups of students. Schools should strive to create an environment
where all children feel valued and all children can learn.
