Document Summary
Create an outline communicating your educational philosophy using the following guidelines. Consider the historical development as it impacts educational philosophy. The modern classroom is nothing like the classroom of even two decades ago. Certainly, no teacher can be expected to know every language, or be familiar with every culture from every student. In essence, the idea of diversity in the classroom is to operate with the idea of a global village and overlap in cultures within the microcosm of the classroom. This means simply that the modern educator be sensitive about culture, gender, sexuality, and individual differences within the classroom. History, for instance, has been incredibly eurocentric and male oriented for generations. What this has meant in the classroom is that white males of european descent have been emphasized as those who were important to the human race opposed to others.
