Multicultural Perspective, writing assignment help

Today’s classrooms are diverse and you will be expected
to meet the needs of all of your students. Many of our students come
from different cultures, which affects how they learn. We must take this
into consideration when developing our lesson plans, making our role as
an educator even more complex. As a result, we must be informed of our
students’ cultural backgrounds as this includes another element of
cognitive understanding that will guide our instructional practices. By
understanding student culture, we can gain insight into learning
preferences, interests, motivation, and prior knowledge. 

Based on the important features of multicultural education found in
Figure 4.6 of our text and selecting a specific content standard from
the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSS), develop a learning activity that includes these key features of multicultural education:

1. Integration of content – How does your learning activity incorporate content from different cultures?
2. Reducing Prejudice – How does the learning activity attempt to minimize any of your own prejudices as well as your students?
3. Making Teaching Equitable – How
   does the instructional approach to your learning activity meet the needs
   of all your students by recognizing learning styles, interests, and
   motivation to help achieve academic potential?
4. Empowering Learners – How does the learning activity empower all students to work toward their academic potential?
5. Construction of Knowledge – How does your learning activity promote different perspectives that validate how culture influences knowledge and beliefs?

Be sure to first provide your content standard from the CCSS followed by
your learning activity. Then explain how your learning activity meets
each element of multicultural education by providing evidence to justify
and support your assertions. Then reflect on your K-12 school
experience. Was a multicultural education part of your schooling? What
factors may have contributed to the inclusion or exclusion of a
multicultural education in your own early schooling? Make sure to
incorporate the five key features of multicultural education in your
reflection.
