Classroom Diversity

When it comes to diversity in the classroom, I feel that I have a very diverse group of students. Though most of my students are either of the Black or White races ( I only have one Hispanic student), socioeconomic status and achievement levels are sometimes vast in contrast. I also have students who face certain challenges that are quite different than what most of my other students face. Here are three of my students:



The student on the left is my Hispanic student. He is also considered an ESL student, even though his English is a good as anyone's I know. The student in the middle faces challenges that would be overwhelming to some adults. After attending school daily, she then goes home to a husband and baby daughter, all the while sustaining an A average. The student on the far right is is somewhat of an extrovert, and his intelligence, especially in literature, never ceases to amaze me.




The above student is highly motivated and somewhat of an introvert until it comes to speaking over the intercom, and then all timidness goes out the window. Maybe his patriotism overcomes his timidity, because he always volunteers to lead the pledge when the chance arises.

All in all, I think the diversity of my school is a wonderful thing. The students treat each other like one, big family, and this in turn makes the atmosphere quite pleasant and enjoyable for me.
