Teaching
Culturally Responsive Teaching focuses on how to educate under achieve diverse student of color, and how our children can receive a better education. The author states,” We must insist that this empowerment stop now and set into motion, change strategies to ensure that it does.” Teachers can change the life of his/her students that are underachievers. She can find ways to show that she cares that will empower them to want to learn. They should never compare an achiever to an underachiever. Never show a failing grade so that the other may see it. Be sensitive to each student’s feelings and needs. It helps if an achiever works with an underachiever. Sometimes help from a student is better explained than from a teacher. Parents should be involved to reinforce lessons that are learned at school on a daily basis. Parents should participate in visits to the library and after school programs. This helps the children to better themselves and reinforce what is taught at school. Homosexual teachers (2000) who genuinely care about students generate higher levels of all kinds of success than others do who do not.
They have higher achievements. Children are learning about power and privilege in every interaction- in families, school, and communities. (Ramsey) 1998 Teachers in contrast, have short term but intense impact on their children’s lives. They provide a lot of stimulation with activities, books, trips, and visitors, as well as by fostering interactions among the children in the classroom. At home, there are consistent people and messages year after year. Nevertheless, in school, each year is hopefully a new adventure, as new teachers and new classmates come together from a variety of experience and perspectives. At school, children hear and see thing that surprise, intrigue, and trouble them because they may mesh with messages and experiences at home. Children often become much attached to teachers, but usually teacher-child relationships do not have long-term intimacy of parent-child relationships. Thus, parents and teachers can work together to enhance the learning of the students. The family environment in which a child lives has an impact on many aspects of that child life including school performance.
Certain family characteristics such as family structure and poverty level, single parent households, living in urban areas a...

...ation is needed to improved student’s achievement, both within and outside of schools. The author state” Curriculum source and content that provide accurate presentations of ethnic and cultural diversity offer several other benefits for improving student’s achievements.” First, they provide those who never had close personal contact with members of ethnic groups other than their own with opportunities to communication and engage with diverse people as well as to confront themselves. This experience along with calm some fear, dispel some myths, and produce some learning that cannot be intimidated from new knowledge enhances receptivity toward and mastery of it. Second, students are actively involved in their own learning. Surely students will learn better that which is of their own creations. The causes are many as are the solution, without the proper backing such as help from family, teachers, community, government, and churches nothing can be accomplished. This is something that cannot or should not be put on hold. This problem with the cultural diverse students of color has to be addressed now. James Baldwin wrote,” Not everything that is faced can be changed until it is faced.”
The position of the college coach is one that comes with fame and notoriety. Coaches of big time programs have to deal with acclaim and infamy of each win and loss. And while their winning percentage may be variable, as presented in the reading Billion Dollar Ball, their contracts are not. Football and basketball coaches’ salaries have been growing as popular demand has risen, which beckons the question, are coaches overpaid by their athletic departments? Ultimately, I believe that the salaries that coaches make are justifiable due to the amount of revenue big time programs bring in, the market forces that dictate demand, as well as the recruiting “expertise” that colleges posses.
This has been described as subtractive schooling (Bazron, Osher, & Fleischman, 2005). When this occurs, it likely contributes to the disproportionality of minority students in special education and discipline referrals. Culturally responsive practice does not mean fitting all students into a single mold; but rather, acknowledging and celebrating differences and working together to learn from one another. Madhlangobe and Gordon (2012) describe a case study in which an educational leader, parents, teachers, and students learn from one another in a collaborative effort to increase cultural competence and acceptance. In this case study, researchers followed an assistant principal in a Texas community who exemplifies culturally responsive leadership. Their research methods included observing, shadowing, interviewing, and collecting artifacts. Participants included the assistant principal, teachers, and parents. The authors aimed to identify patterns to explain why school staff acted the way they did and how they got to that point. Madhlangobe and Gordon categorized their findings into six themes necessary for culturally responsive leadership including: caring for others, building relationships, persistence and persuasiveness, being present and communicating, modeling cultural responsiveness, and fostering cultural responsiveness among

Diversity in the classrooms will give students access to experience other cultures and learn about one another. The different races effect how varied their backgrounds might be, and it will help the teacher engage a variety of ways to manage course material (Packard, 2017). According to Packard, it is up to the teacher to help spread the learning of diversity and use it to their advantage in their classroom. Throughout the years, diversity have grown in the classrooms, but the struggle of segregation continues.
Since college sports generate more than $11 billion dollars in revenue from broadcast rights, ticket sales, and sponsorship rights; many people believe that student-athletes should be paid the amount of money being made. The money that is being generated by revenue is later passed on to NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) executives, coaches, and athletic directors in forms of salaries. On average, NCAA head football coaches receive $2.1 million in salaries and are considered the highest paid employee in 40 states along with NCAA basketball coaches. However, coaches at Division 1 schools such as Jim Harbaugh, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, and many more average salaries that are above $7 million a year, 7 times the amount a division 2 or 3 coach makes a year.
The topic was appropriate for the audience and occasion because the speech was about the new Biden Institute on campus, which will benefit students and the university. Overall, he had a clear message and that was to get involved in public policy. It was a short and simple speech but it got the audience excited about the topic. Personally, I thought it was an effective strategy to deliver the information about the new Biden Institute rather than just sending that same information in an email that few people would read.
In becoming a football coach, they may believe that they are teaching young men how to play and be responsible, but in reality they are teaching the coach. In order to become a coach, a bachelor’s degree is needed (). However, they need a bachelor’s degree because, they cannot really be a coach and also have to teach a class in high school. The key skills needed is to have patience, creativity, compassion, and understanding the way the game is played (). Have to have the patience for everyone that
The importance of Art Nouveau can not be denied Earl A Powell III, director of the national Gallery of art in Washington DC explains, “The Art Nouveau style was self-consciously international.” He goes on...
Art Nouveau a style of decorative art, architecture, and design prominent in Western Europe and the USA from about 1890 until the First World War and characterized by intricate linear designs and flowing curves based on natural forms. Art Nouveau is characterized by its use of a long, sinuous, organic line and was employed most often in architecture, interior design, jewelry and glass design, posters, and illustration. It was a deliberate attempt to create a new style, free of the imitative historicism that dominated much of 19th-century art and design.
This semester I had the chance to take The Fundamentals of Speech Communication, this course has taught me so much on how my presence and performance in front of a group can affect the way my speech comes across. During this course, I had the opportunity to research and discover different speakers who have given amazing and inspirational speeches. Speaking has been around for a very long time, and our understanding of it comes to us at a very young age. I have researched and watched many great speeches but only one has really moved me. The speech I have chosen is the speech that Earl Spencer gave at his sisters, Princess Diana, funeral. (Staple, 2013)
Even though all of the presenters did a great job with their speeches one speech that stood out to me was Gianna’s speech on the benefits of breakfast. What I like about her presentation was that as soon as she said the title of her speech I was instantly interested. I am someone who often skips breakfast so learning about reasons why I should not skip it was a very interesting topic to me. She spoke about her own experiences with the topic to establish credibility and did a really good job previewing what she was going to talk about. Another thing that I noticed about her right from the beginning was that she seemed very eager and excited about the presentation that she was going to give. The enthusiasm really added to the presentation in
Previously mentioned, the students were set and had it altogether, but I did not. I was the last one to share and I had to improvise because I did not know what to say. I stood in the middle of the room and stared at everyone then began to speak of how bewildered I was when I first walked in the first day and how much they have changed me as a person. Somehow, my speech was empowering because all I heard were sniffles and a “wow” coming from a student that I never expected was going to care. He came up to me at the end of the day and told me that he was so delighted that he inspired someone, and it’s true. He
Diversity in classrooms can open student’s minds to all the world has to offer. At times diversity and understanding of culture, deviant experiences and perspectives can be difficult to fulfill, but with appropriate strategies and resources, it can lead students to gain a high level of respect for those unlike them, preferably from a judgmental and prejudiced view. Diversity has a broad range of spectrums. Students from all across the continent; students from political refugees, indigenous Americans, and immigrants bring their cultural and linguistic skills to American classrooms. Students not only bring their cultural and linguistic skills, but they bring their ethnicity, talents, and skills.
The cultural diversity in society, which is reflected in schools, is forcing schools not to solely rely on content-centered curriculum, but to also incorporate student-centered lesson plans based on critique and inquiry. This requires multicultural education to a dominant part of the school system, not just an extra course or unit. Further, it demands that learning itself no longer be seen as obtaining knowledge but rather, education be seen as creating knowledge. Multicultural education should be seen as affirming the diversity of students and communities, promoting the multicultural ideas of the United States, and building the knowledge and behaviors needed for students to be a positive and contributing member of society and the global community as a whole.
The world is currently undergoing a cultural change, and we live in an increasingly diverse society. This change is not only affect the people in the community but also affect the way education is viewed. Teaching diversity in the classroom and focusing multicultural activities in the programs can help improve positive social behavior in children. There is no question that the education must be prepared to embrace the diversity and to teach an increasingly diverse population of young children.
