Standard #2: Learning Differences.
The teacher uses understanding of individual differences and diverse cultures and communities to ensure inclusive learning environments that enable each learner to meet high standards.
As a music educator it is important to know the different ways students learn. Some students for example might have excellent ears, and might hear the relationship between different pitches very well, while another student doesn't hear pitches as easily and has trouble hearing those relationships. In circumstances like this it is important to learn different strategies to teach different students so students don't fall behind.
Currently I am working towards becoming more educationally diverse for the diversity i might face in my classroom. I am enrolled in a multicultural education class this semester where i am learning about other cultures and learning about the different ways people of different cultures learn. I have also taken an educational psychology class in which i learned about the developmental patterns of kids and leaned of the way students learn as they age.
In the future to supplement the classes i have taken learning about the way children and people of different cultures i hope to take classes that will continue to teach me more teaching strategies. I will take music education classes that will teach me many more ways to teach a class and with the knowledge i already have through the classes i have taken i will be able to teach any student of any cultural background and any learning handicap.
