Diversity in classroom
My first field experiment was very necessary for me to observe the ways of a successful teacher. It contributed to me learning how to deal with diversity, classroom control, and accommodation for different learning styles. In my field experiment, I focused on diversity and how it plays a huge part in how the students interact and learn within the classroom. Diversity simply put, is to have variety or differences inside of a group. Diversity in the classroom may include: exceptionalities, culture, language, learning style and gender. Different types of diversities in a classroom can if not recognized, and accommodated for hinder the learning environment. As a successful teacher, it is necessary to demonstrate an understanding for diversity and to have the goal of accommodating for all students.
I observed Dr. Andrew Bensons english classes to see what role diversity played in classroom setting. As the students entered the classroom no student seemed to stand out from the next student. Gender was the first sign of diversity I noticed in the students. They sat in a group setting and I noticed the males sat together and the females did the same. Dr.Benson did a great job of using the entire area of the room while teaching his students. He continued to walk around to each table interacting with each group of students which I noticed kept there attention. The objective of this class was to learn abbreviations. Classroom participation was key to this class period. Students were given the chance to express there thoughts which motivated them to understand the objective.
This class used a heterogeneous type teaching method. All student from different backgrounds, gender, ethnicity, and culture learned together in a mutually beneficial environment. One example I saw of accommodation was when a student who had bad eye siht was allowed to come stand in front the class and work the problem on the board. This was an amazing method because it allowed the student
