Diversity Statement

I am different from my classmates in many different ways. Not only do they differ in their interests but they also are different in culture. This impacts me as a future teacher by knowing that I may not have all students that value the same things as I do and will be from different cultures than I am from. They may have different religious backgrounds that will make them value totally different things than I do. Using this knowledge I can promote democracy in my classroom by realizing that all of the kids will be different and then I can embrace different cultures.
