1. A multicultural education curriculum should be in place in every school.

Strongly Agree

1. Families should not be expected to be involved in classroom activities.

Agree – But there should still be opportunities for families to be involved.

1. All learning programs should accommodate all children with special needs.

Disagree – Unless the extended family member is creating deep trauma,

then that family member should have a voice.

1. My curriculum should be based on each individual child’s current interests.

Disagree – The curriculum should be one that broaden’s a child’s view and

is multicultural.

1. Diversity definitely includes race and culture, but doesn’t include age, ability or family make-up.

Strongly disagree

1. Media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country.

Strongly disagree

1. The United States should discontinue relations with countries that engage in human rights violations.

I’m not sure about this one.

POINT OF VIEW

There are many things that influence my point of view—religion, family history,

the media, my education, my political stance, my personal experiences, where I’m

from. When I interact with someone who has differing views, I remember that it

isn’t my job to convince him/her/them to have the same viewpoint as me, it is my

job to treat him/her/them with respect and approach the conversation with

curiosity. Very rarely has anyone ever changed my point of view in an argument,

my point of view changes when I learn the stories of others.

[Trainer]

Christina demonstrates a strong understanding of the importance of multicultural education and family involvement, while also acknowledging the complexities of accommodating children with special needs. Her open-minded approach to differing viewpoints is commendable.

To celebrate a newly immigrated student’s culture, I could introduce some basic vocabulary from the student’s previous country into the classroom (if the student’s previous country did not speak English as a primary language.) I could promote inclusivity by organizing everyone in the classroom to bring an item of food or art from their cultural background.

POINT OF VIEW: my religious background, where I was raised, personal experience under my cultural surroundings, and relationships can affect my point of view.

I absolutely think people can change their views! As for myself, I was much more close-minded and essentialist before living in Paris, NYC, and California through my early 20s. Exposing oneself to new people and living circumstances can expand one’s sense of beauty, potential relationships, and connection in the world.

My point of view is based on my family experiences, my learning and education, and what I see and hear in the media.

When peoples point of views differ there can often be tension and one person might shut down or might become even more vocal. I believe peoples points of view can change over time based on their own experiences or things they might see or hear over and over again. If a person has a desire to change then they will. If they have no desire to change then that can be respected and others can learn from that too.

[Shamona Murphy]

one of the ways I would celebrate the unique characteristics is by doing activity about me. In this activity, they would write about themselves and their culture and each week they will share about different thing about them, like their language, what holiday is like for them and what their favorite things to do at home are.

In this lesson I learned a lot about the culture and characteristics of my family compared to other families. I will take time to build relationships with the families of children in my care.

[Trainer]

Shamona, your “About Me” activity is a great way to celebrate diversity and build relationships with families. It’s important for children to learn about their own and others’ cultures.
