How does multicultural education reflect responsive teaching to help meet the academic needs of diverse student populations?
I know that in the video “RTI and DI: The Dynamic Duo” focused on how it helps students of different cultures but I feel this is how teaching should be don regardless of the background of the students. I guess, this is what bothers me about the whole multicultural education and responsive teaching. Every child is different and learns in different ways. Why focus of culture? Two white kids that grew up in the same neighborhood will have a different cutler because their families have different believes. There are Americans that love the “American culture” and there are Americans that can’t stand the “American culture”. People come to America because what America is and what it can be for their family. Regardless of race, culture or background teachers should be “responsive teaching” every child deserves individual attention when it comes to their education. The problem is that the teachers are not the ones that should be responsible for that. I am a parent I know how hard it is to be involved with my child’s education. I work fulltime and go to school fulltime but I know when and if my child is struggling with something It is my responsibility to help them.
