student needs
Sometimes in discussion in the classroom, other students need to see the diversity of culture the other students come from. This also helps them to understand other student needs.
I agree completely. It provides them with a glimpse of how interactions in the "real world" will impact them.
I love finding opportunities to highlight the diverse backgrounds of my students. Student A comes from one culture with these experiences, and student B comes from another. What strengths come out of these different backgrounds and what can we learn from eachother. Ideally this fosters respect, tolerance, and appreciation.
Liz,
yes, as instructors we must understand the diversity in the classroom & this is definitely true in the health care industry.

In the health field, being aware of the diversity of culture is a must. I always tell students to take into consideration the different cultures that they come in contact with. Also, I do incorporate my personal life experience in the health field in the classroom.
Absolutely. This is especially true when the student will be entering a field where they will come into contact with the general public which is much mor diverse than the students previous social structure.
