Diversity Tie-In

Multiculturalism and Professionalism: You Can't Have One Without the Other

• Read the Competency Builder "Multiculturalism and Professionalism: You Can't Have One Without the Other."
• Review the data about America's children and how meeting the needs of all the children in your classroom is part of your professional responsibility.
• Review the five guidelines to becoming multiculturally aware.

Understand that the first guideline presented is very important. Until you confront your own feelings about diversity, you cannot clearly make your classroom responsive to the diverse needs of all your children.
