Reflection # 5

Chapter 11 deals with technology and cultural diversity.  I found this chapter very interesting. Just talk a walk around Angelo State and look at all of the diversity. I can only imagine what a classroom in a bigger city must look like. I think teachers have to responsibility to take the time and understand different cultures. In order to educate someone you first must understand their learning styles. Different cultures may believe or see things differently; and could be a road block in the learning process.

Chapter 12 discusses professional leadership and growth. This is another major factor for educators. I especially liked the way the book discussed getting familiar with your surroundings and fellow teachers at a new school. This seems like a great way to ask for help and get it. In addition, I thought action research was a great concept. How will you know if something is going to work if you don’t research it? This seems like a great investigation tool for everyone.
