Diversity, Cultural Understanding, and Global Awareness

Diversity, Cultural Understanding, and Global Awareness 

As an educator, I model and promote diversity in my classroom by attending professional development that assist me in accommodating students with exceptionalities through the integration of QR Codes on learning menus that look the same, but are tier based upon ability level and curriculum standard. I model and promote cultural understanding through Nearpod and Storybird. Nearpod is an informational resource that allows me to personalize lessons content to highlight cultures that are present in my classroom. Storybird lends itself to student crafted stories that reflect the traditions and celebrations from within their culture compliment with an illustration. I model and promote global awareness through the use of digital-age communication and collaboration tools such as facebook messenger, google docs, google classroom, and classdojo. The aforementioned apps assist all individuals involved in education whether they be a parent, student, or education professional work together on projects and message one another on a local and global scale.
