We live in a multicultural society and an important question is, Who are today’s students
in a diverse society? Chapter 3 discusses and captures the complex situation of diversity challenging
the classroom of today; sources of student diversity, includes racial, ethnic,
and cultural diversity. Cultural pluralism, a cutting edge concept is still
evolving, "Acting White," one of the many articles, reflects this fact. Multicultural education,
involves some basic knowledge on Human relations. Teaching culturally
responsive methods and Communication styles takes the teacher of today to
another level of teaching. English language learners engage Bilingual education
models despite Bilingual education controversies. Multiple intelligences, e.g.,
verbal, logical, spatial, musical, and natural all make up differing learning
styles. Students with disabilities and Special education sectors are protected
with certain U.S. Civil laws as IDEA and ADA. Teacher collaboration is a must
when teaching gifted and talented children. Glasser’s Choice Theory is
intuitive and informative as it brings to life many of the nuances people, including
students, face in their everyday life.
