文化的多样性

There are several ways to describe this phenomenon:

• The National Center for Education Statistics predicts that white students will represent 46 percent of public school students in 2024, a drop from 51 percent of the student population in 2012;
• Most of the education majors in teacher preparation programs are white; in 2012 only 25% of individuals enrolled in teacher preparation programs were people of color;
• The composition of bachelor’s degree students who pursue an education-related major is less diverse than that of similar students who major in other fields; while 62% of all bachelor’s degree students in 2012 were white, 73% of students majoring in education were white;
• In 2012, only 20% of public school principals were individuals of color;
• In 2012, 76%的教师是女性, though the students they taught were 49% male (Department of Education, 2016).

Resolving demographic differences is a significant challenge that requires overcoming a number of obstacles. 不过, ensuring all students achieve their full potential 和 experience school as a place of compassion, 股本, 和 purpose for attainment of individual 和 collective good requires careful attention to resolving demographic differences between educators 和 the students they teach.

股权行动计划

One way the 教育学院 is addressing this issue is by following its 股权行动计划, which was authored by a committee of 股本 advisors. Committee members were community leaders with broad representation 和 special 和 practical knowledge of cultural diversity. The committee included representation from 约翰·珀金斯中心, Multicultural Education Rights Alliance, 神学院, 教育学院 多样性 Committee, 老师候选人, 大楼管理员, 现场主管, 以及项目教师.

文化多样性发展

Another way the 教育学院 is addressing demographic differences is by providing development for students, 工作人员, 和 faculty in the area of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity constitutes the existence of various cultural 和 ethnic groups within society 和 the way culture influences education. Some essential concepts linking cultural diversity to education include cultural competence, 股本教育学, 和 culturally responsive teaching. A collection of development materials exemplifying the 教育学院’s commitment to resolving demographic differences by preparing graduates with underst和ing of cultural diversity follows.
