Souto-Manning and Martell (2017) write, “There is a puzzling mismatch between the diversity of children and the standardization and regimentation of curriculum and teaching (Genishi & Dyson, 2009). Many children in today’s K-2 classrooms do not see themselves on their classroom walls, in materials, or within the curriculum. As previously documented, literacy curriculum and teaching are often not representative, relevant, or accessible to children of color who have historically been left out of the curriculum (Sleeter, 2005; Souto-Manning, 2013).”
The diversity that students represent spans learning ability, learning style, race, ethnicity, language, and religion, among others. Describe the culture of your school and its accommodations for such diversity. Also, consider additional efforts that you believe might make students see themselves in the curriculum more. Please share any information from any of the course readings so far that is relevant.
