Chapter 4

Chapter 4 is about student diversity. Student diversiy is an important topic when it comes to schools and education. There is cultural diversity, language diversity, and gender even is a aspect in the classroom. Multicultral education is a term that describes a variety of stragities schools use to accomodate cultural differences in teaching and learning. Multicultural education will evolove according to the book, as educators discover what works and what works and what doesn't. There are alot of students who do not speak english very well or at all. There are programs in school such as ELL and ESL to help accomodate these students in the English speaking schools. Gender seems to have an effect in some classrooms. Gender bias has become a problem when forces in schools and the larger society limit the growth and acedemic potential of either boys or girls, as appeared to be most cases. This suprises me.
