Negotiating Learner Differences MOOC’s Updates
Productive diversity in classrooms
The beauty of diversity lies in its differences. In a heterogenous classroom with students from different religion, having faith in different Gods, cultures, food, languages, ethnicity etc is actually a classrooms to be fun working with.The solidarity with which they cooperate with each other helping putting up an act together, a project work and play takes the thought far from diversity. In classrooms its not the diversity that is at focus but the uniqueness which is respected and looked upto. The inclusion with which a child participates in the classroom activity without giving a thought of which religion,caste or social background my groupmates belong to is not negotiating but innate.
@Srilatha Alva, your insight is very compelling.
