REFLECTION:

ELEMENTS PROVIDING DIVERSITY:

  • Race/ethnicity
  • Socio-economic situation
  • Home/family situation
  • WIDE range of ability levels
  • Variety of disabilities in regular classroom

An example student...

What makes her unique?

  • 3rd grader - what does this tell us?
  • Middle class family; educated parents
  • Young for her class--August birthday
  • Extremely social, musical, loves math
  • Struggles with insecurity and self-confidence

We need to keep in mind...

WITHIN DIVERSITY, COMMONALITIES...

PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT

  • PreK and Kindergarten
  • Early Elementary (1-3)
  • Upper Elementary (4-6)
  • Middle School (7-9)
  • High School (10-12)

IS THIS OVERLY SIMPLISTIC?

KEY QUESTION!

RECOGNIZING THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE UNIQUE

DOES NOT MEAN WE DON'T ALSO SEE PATTERNS!

THE KEY IS TO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE INDIVIDUALS

AS YOU ALSO LOOK AT THE GROUP...
