Classroom Diversity Visual Organizer

Create a visual organizer that identifies 5 methods or strategies you will use to address diversity issues in your classroom.

Include the following for each method/strategy in your visual organizer:

• Rationale for the inclusion of the method/strategy based on research
• At least 2 examples of how that method/strategy may be implemented
• How the method/strategy will support a positive classroom environment

Some clarifying Q’s&A’s

1) What is a visual organizer? A visual organizer is a diagram, chart, graphic organizer that makes information easy to see. A common online organizing tool is an “infographic” and you can make them easily at https://piktochart.com/.

2) When you ask for strategies do you mean what is found on page 47 of our textbook? YES and NO. Obviously I’m not looking for you to regurgitate the textbook to me (this is a graduate level course). I’m looking for real strategies, research-based, that can be used to meet the diverse needs of students.

3) Do we need to do our own research? Well, in order to receive maximum points you need a minimum of FIVE SOURCES ( Citied in APA) In our learning activities there is one chapter to read, about 6 articles, and a couple of videos. You might find all you need there. But I always recommend doing at least some research on your own to develop your own learning of the concepts.

4) How do I submit a visual organizer? Create the organizer in a Word doc or if you use an online tool, embed it in a Word doc. Also if you use an online tool and it has a “share” link, you can post your share link in your Word doc with a cover sheet and a reference page. If you are a fan of Google products you can always share your Google doc or slides with me.
