Get Your Students Hired
Through out my life, and trust me it's been a long life, I have met so many different cultures, life experiences and not to mention different languages..I took something from everyone and applied it to my life. If you told every student to describe an apple , you would have several discussions..over an apple ! But someone will learn something new no matter what the other person said. Even if one person does not like apples. He might end up trying one. Putting people together to discuss a part of a subject not only opens up their shyness but helps them retain a little more . Especially, test time !
I agree it is important to have diversity in groups. This includes not just different cultures or gender but age. I think the younger students can learn from the older students and vice versa.
Diversity is a wonderful thing! There is so much to learn from each other. As long as we keep and open mind and willingness to learn the educational process continues. I still find myself learning new things and applying it to my teachings.
Understanding the need for diversity in today's ever changing world is a requirement in the classroom. The mixture of different ethnicity in the classroom is a reality. Having each student learn something from a classmate creates a blended environment which is one that will prepare them for the reality of the world and workforce.

Agree 100%-
I see there are endless opportunities in a classroom setting with this type of example above. I often form groups that have different cultures and experience levels to all work together and share unique opinions regarding the subject matter.
Hi Lloyd!
Good point! I like to think that in an instructional environment that we start more the same in "the book" but along the way learning changes our thought processes. Perhaps we all end in somewhat a different place. What do you think?
keep up the good work!

This is what makes it fun we all start at different places but at the end of the course we finish at the same point in the book.
Hi Diedra! Your experiences have obviously developed you into a seasoned and experienced educator. Thanks so much for your comments.
