Working (sort of) to become a teacher #UONTeach

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@UNoahevans I feel the same as you. I think twitter has been an invaluable resource and I would definitely use this when becoming a professional teacher

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@ashleeprice912 This is a great response @ashleeprice912. I would like to think that all teachers would be able to see cultural diversity beyond the surface and instead into how it can affect more than just an individual.

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

Reflecting on what cultural diversity can look like in and beyond the classroom has shown how important it is to me both as a teacher and a member of the community. Creating a culture of being accepting of all cultures is only a tiny part of cultural diversity #UoNTeach

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@jwood961 Thanks @jwood961. Your response is exactly the idea that all teachers need to consider

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

After 9 weeks looking into cultural diversity as an aspect of 21st century learning, I can firmly say that this is something that is essential in all Australian classrooms and will be something I aim to bring into my future classrooms. #UoNTeach

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@jwood961 I totally agree @jwood961. I had no concept of just how diverse the class is. Yes it is definitely an extensive process. One that will no doubt take us time to implement into the everyday but each step helps.

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

It's not until learning about cultural diversity that you become fully aware of all the different opportunities to show inclusiveness to those students in your class from different backgrounds and cultures. #UoNTeach

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@jwood961 @learnPSNSW Thanks @jwood961. I will definitely be sure to check out this resource when planning lessons to incorporate cultural diversity

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@JockThompson3 I definitely agree with what you are saying. The resources I have seen will definitely be useful for Internship and beyond

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

After using Twitter to communicate with other educators in similar positions, I have a newfound appreciation for collaboration between teachers beyond the scope of my local area. This form of communication has the ability to showcase the strength of a global community #UoNTeach

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@ashleeprice912 I am definitely in the same boat as you regarding learning more than I thought I would

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

Looking to the future I can take what I have learned from looking into the concepts of cultural diversity and use these ideas to be a positive influence in this area to my colleagues and students. #UoNTeach

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@kirrabowdler Yes, it is definitely something I would use again as well

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@UNoahevans This is a great reflection @UNoahevans. I hope to be able to bring these things into my classrooms.

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

Reflecting on cultural diversity in the classroom, I decided to look back at my schooling and think when I was most exposed to this idea. I would say that I have vivid memories of a few assignments in one year but not many other than that. What were your experiences? #UoNTeach

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@UNoahevans Thanks @UNoahevans , this is a great point you make. Active participation is so important in today's classrooms

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

21st Century classrooms need to be using global perspectives when teaching any topic or KLA. Communication and Critical thinking are only some of the benefits involved in this idea of teaching. https://t.co/EhsK0Yvg9O #UoNTeach

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@UNoahevans That's great to hear that you learned another language in your schooling as you have experienced the other side as opposed to us as teachers.

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

Learning another language in primary school can be beneficial in this increasingly globalised world. Students become more open and receptive to other cultures through this. Have you taught any other languages in your classrooms? If so what languages and how did it go? #UoNTeach

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@UNoahevans This is so important these days and with so much various technology out there, there is no excuse why this can not be achieved by teachers

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@UNoahevans I love this. I can't say that I have experienced anything like this, but would love to be a part of something similar one day

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@UNoahevans I saw a perfect example of this on my last prac when a local brass band came in and performed for the students. It provided the students with a unique opportunity that many students would have gone without if not the case.

[Isaac Chapman @IChap19]

@UNoahevans Collaboration is definitely one of the most important things I aim to include in my classrooms as it develops students interpersonal relationships and their ability to see learning from different perspectives.
