1. How do you define diversity in learners?
In this section, Professor Haley describes different ways to define diversity. The teachers then describe the learner diversity in their classrooms and share strategies for learning about students' interests and needs.
- Surveys and classroom observations were mentioned as techniques for learning about students. What other strategies might a teacher use to learn about students' backgrounds and learning preferences?
- In what ways did Ms. Terry use the Spanish heritage of her students to help them learn French? What additional approaches might a teacher use to help students whose heritage language is not the target language?
