Diversity and Change

Abstract
This paper explores critical
pedagogy in the multicultural and diverse classroom. The paper includes a
critique of three books. These
educational texts are viewed relative to my experiences, their additive affect
for my classroom, and critical analysis on personal changes inspired by the
books. Wink (2005) asks the reader to define their critical pedagogy through
writing and exploring the theories. She writes about how to do critical
pedagogy in the classroom and with families, and the importance for it in the
twenty first century. Lea and Helfand (Eds.) (2007), explore the subtle and
hidden racism in U.S. educational institutions and ask us to examine our
unconscious ways of perpetuating racism. Delpit (2006) discusses racism in
teacher education and classrooms, and student identity conflicts in education.

Prevent School Misbehavior from Becoming Criminal Misbehavior
Multicultural
Awareness in High School Classroom Management
December 20, 2011
Abstract
The
purpose of this professional development project is to prepare a presentation
about Culturally Responsive Classroom Management for K-12 teachers and present
research based strategies they can use to be culturally responsive in their
classroom management. The literature
review explores the problem of disproportionate numbers for African-American
and Latino students in disciplinary actions. The need for classroom management
that keeps students from dropping out or being expelled from school is
reviewed. The theory of Culturally Responsive Classroom Management is
explained. CRCM is not part of teacher training. Teacher development is
recommended. A PowerPoint and activities for a proposed teacher development
workshop follow the literature review on the subject.
