Ethnic Studies Diversity In The Thesis

These include taking minority students into account when creating classroom culture and promoting a culture of acceptance and understanding, as well as teaching in such a way that students from a host of cultures feel comfortable. Employing these methods, among others, creates an environment in which all students can flourish and diversity can be honored as an important characteristic of the United States. Furthermore, it will create an environment in which all students will be better prepared. As of 2006, children in the United States were reading at a level lower than the children of some European countries. Because, "Students need rigorous, content-rich curriculum" ("Background Knowledge"), it is safe to say that incorporating a culture of diversity could positively benefit all students. Works Cited
