The Gift of Diversity (paragraph)

Your text states:  “Differences among students make teaching interesting. Student differences should not present a problem; rather, it is how differences are perceived that counts” (Krogh, Fielstein, Phelps, & Newman, 2015, Ch. 4).  To those who see differences in a positive light, the notion of diversity is exciting and educational.  Identify and briefly describe five types of diversity presented in Chapter 4 of your text.  Which areas of student diversity pose the most challenges for you as a future teacher?  How will you meet those challenges and welcome those differences into your classroom?  Provide at least three specific approaches you will take to help students become respectful, open-minded citizens.
