Chapter 10:

What do you want to take out of this course and multicultural education?

Let me start by saying that this course really opened my eyes and helped me decide which educational path I would like to take. Because of this course I have discovered that I would really like to work with special needs or emotional or behavioral disorders children. That is what really calls to me and I would have never had the chance to discover this if it wasn’t for this course. This course has taught me about the tension that still exists in schools. It has taught me suggestions for how to deal with different classroom situations. An example of that would be in instance where a student might have two moms or two dads and how another student might say something about that and you as a teacher have to figure out how to answer the other students question or comment without hurting the original students feeling or offending anyone. This course has also taught me about the ESOL program and how it works and what goes into it. I really enjoyed observing the ESOL class and seeing the pride on the students face when they got something right. It has also taught me about how to include different cultural aspects into my future classroom. I hope to take all the knowledge I have learned from this course and use it in the field of teaching.
