Diversity in Classrooms- Understand Better through Best Online Courses for Teachers
Diversity in students, in terms of culture, understanding, mental ability, and cognitive reaction, has increased substantially. Therefore, their needs are different which requires a teacher to undertake a unique approach to teaching. Online professional development courses for teachers have become a reliable way to develop requisite skills as an educator.
Teaching in a classroom of diverse learners, a teacher must aim at facilitating the learning process of students. Taking the following points in consideration, to become a sought after teacher.
• Consider students as individual with different abilities. Each student has their unique strengths weaknesses, and needs. Generalization of the entire classroom will not be healthy in a classroom full of students with diverse ethnicity, race, and cultural group.
• Engage in different teaching styles to get desired response from culturally diverse group of students. Teaching online courses will be useful to learn a variety of teaching styles.
• A teacher is responsible to create an interactive environment in classrooms where individual experiences and perspective of each student is respected and valued.
In fact, styles are modified based on requirement in a classroom or student in question. Broadly, researchers have classified learning in three styles. • Auditory – In this type of learning, students prefer to receive
ideas or information by hearing. Auditory learners generally have trouble in reading and writing, however, are brilliant in retaining spoken words in mind.
• Visual – Learners under this classification prefer receiving information through pictures or by seeing it. Students who prefer visual learning pay high attention to detail.
• Kinesthetic – In this innovative learning style, students prefer to learn by carrying out physical activity, for instance via movement or touch. Learners who prefer to learn in this manner are often considered hyperactive, because they face difficulty in sitting in one spot for long.
