on page 9 of the Ruggs and Hebl reading, Literature overview: Diversity,inclusion, and cultural awareness for classroom and outreach education.
Three strategies to increase diversity, inclusion, and cultural awareness in classroom settings are summarized. Reflect on one of thestrategies described in the reading.
If you are a teacher, where do you recognize an opportunity to include greater attention to any of the strategies across yourcurriculum? Is there are an area of diversity, inclusion, or cultural awareness you feel is neglected in any part of your teachingapproach? In your reflection, consider why this omission might exist. Is it a function of time constraints, discomfort, or perhaps a lackof resources to improve the situation? How can the issue be helped or at least minimized?
If you are not a teacher (or new to teaching), think about your personal educational history. Do you remember a time when a teacherdid not address or make an attempt to redress an issue of diversity, inclusion, or cultural awareness in the class? Drawing from theRuggs and Hebl reading, how do you think the teacher should have improved the situation? What strategies do you know abouttoday would have likely improved the educational experience you had?
This activity will be assessed by your instructor using the Portfolio Activity Rubric.
