My Reflections

Every child is a different kind of flower; they all make this world a
beautiful garden. Regardless of where they belong, students, for whatever
ethnicity, are learners. They are gift needs to be opened and discovered. Each of
them has had a unique culture that defines their personalities.
          Students in the classroom show different abilities to cope with the lesson
and how to socialize with their classmates. Being their teacher along with their
classmate is a great challenge. It requires knowledge of the subject matter and
the culture of all my students.
Based on the teaching materials used, the choices work for the same
purpose but differ only on names. As a teacher, I would explain that we are all
the same, our living contexts are all the same, but sometimes our cultures differ.
Teaching respect in the classroom helps students succeed. In other words, when
children can treat each other respectfully, they positively respond to direction
and instruction. In effect, they are more likely to succeed in academics. It is
essential that as a teacher, you must know how other students will respect the
culture of each other. Discrimination, though hard to manage, must be
eliminated inside the classroom.
Teachers must always consider differentiated instructions so that
everybody could learn at the same time. It is always a primary consideration to
put everything fair to everyone. 
As classroom teachers I learned that, it is essential that we become
conversant with the type of instructional materials, which can be used in any
teaching/ learning situations. Differentiated Instructional materials are essential
tools in learning every subject in the school curriculum. They allow the students
to interact with words, symbols and ideas in ways that develop their abilities in
reading, listening, solving, viewing, thinking, speaking, writing, using media and
technology.
In the end, understanding our differences produces culturally competent,
global citizens; provides graduates and scholars a professional, competitive
advantage in the workforce; and represents diverse perspectives of reality in a
globalized world.
