The topic I chose for my simulation is Finding Ways to Support Children and Families of Diverse Backgrounds.
The demographics of our school systems are changing rapidly. The teachers need to prepare now for these ongoing changes. I feel that it is very important as a future educator not to be broadsided by these changes. I want to look into the research that surround the cultural differences of families, children. I want to be able better understand and provide these children, families and educators the information they will need to be productive in the classroom.
My personal experience with this simulation process in that it is really preparing me for the research process of the topic I chosen. The insights I have gained from constructing the research chart is that it is really helping me understand how to research material the correct way.
My fellow colleagues I will greatly appreciate any help that you can provide throughout this process. Feel free to share any information that you may have to guide me in the right direction.
Tonetta,
ReplyDeleteDiversity is a hot topic and I think you will be able to find plenty of research on a variety of sub-topics. If I remember correctly you wanted to focus on diversity in language. Have you decided to look at Teaching staff and/or just children for your focus? I look forward to reading your findings.
