One Size Does Not Fit All: Diversity in the Classroom

Diversity has come a long way between Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech of I Have a Dream and the election of Barack Obama in 2008. But that doesn't make the subject any easier in a classroom. Children can be completely color blind when dealing with their classmates and completely unaware of cultural differences outside of it. Educating them on how to be culterally sensitive is a subject filled with confusion and uncertainties. Kaplan Voices: Teachers brings stories of how teachers have dealt with this very sensitive topic to their peers. From stories of students with strong cultural heritages to stories of how teachers handle issues of sexual orientation, religion, and world conflicts.
