This chart is a preliminary step in helping you situate your professional specialization in the contexts of diversity and multiculturalism. You are not expected to know everything—or even most things—about these topics at this time; simply record a few of your initial thoughts. There are three separate sections in the chart.
The purpose of Section 1 is to help you begin thinking about how the general themes of curriculum, instruction, and assessment apply specifically to your professional specialization. Do not be concerned if you are not currently working in this specialization and do not have much experience on which to draw. Just reply according to your current thoughts about the general professional role you expect to fill. There are no right or wrong answers.
The purpose of Section 2 is to help you start thinking about how the general themes of diversity and multiculturalism apply specifically to your professional specialization. Again, do not be concerned if you are not currently working in this specialization and have little experience on which to draw. Just reply according to your current thoughts about the general professional role you expect to fill. There are no right or wrong answers.
The third section of the chart is for more general reflection on the topics of diversity and multiculturalism. Complete the first two columns in Section 2 of the chart. In the first column, describe what you already know about these topics. In the middle column, list things that you want to know about these topics. In your last assignment, you will revisit this chart to fill in the final column: what you learned.
