Interesting Talk about involving students into the community to better engage in issues that are relatable to the individual. #teachthough#weareteachers#edchat

My students are designing a personalised coat of arms to parade and celebrate #culturaldiversity in the fundraiser. Linking in #servicelearning presents an opportunity to broaden skill sets accessing #interculturalvalues to enrich their learning experience(Gross, 2012). #uonteach
Prior to programming a unit on #CulturalDiversity, I had little understanding of using social media as a teaching tool. Building partnerships to engage with the educational community has deepened my professional development on local, national and global issues .#uonteach#edchat
#teachers: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
-African Proverb. A great idea to think about when involving #servicelearning to better impact educational understanding for Global and local perspectives. #uonteach#teachthought#edchat#ccss
#teachers: Research states school climate and school culture directly impact student success (Lynch, 2016). From my own quantitative research, students replied with 'fairness' as highest priority. Therefore, lets address cultural needs not just intellectual needs.#uonteach#edch
Fernando & Bennett (2018) argue the creation of a culturally supported space requires macro-systemic changes and integration to be effective. Deeper research has identified one way which teachers effectively do this is by having a cultures corner. #uonteach#edchat#teachthought
#teachers: ICT is a great tool for student centred approach when teaching a unit on #culturaldiversity. Students can engage with the semiotic systems such as; visual (Skype) and audio (podcasts) to better access intercultural understanding. #teachhub#edtech#21stedchat#uonteach
Fellow pre-service #teachers: Look at this book 'PEOPLE' written and illustrated by Peter Spier. His simple sentences prompt reflection and discussion on topics of #culturaldiversity and is a great resource on cultural relativism! #sschat#edchat#elemchat#cpchat#uonteach
Marie Clark (2006) looks at overcoming barriers of teaching @GlobalEd in contexts of changing societies and social attitudes. This study is for teachers to have a #studentcentredapproach when viewing #issuesofdiversity for an engaging practice. #uonteach

#Teachers: Further research on #culturalDiversity introduces conflicting multiple perspectives in #Globalconcepts. Leigh Smiley (2017) focuses on Equity in education, whilst, Bhikhu Perekh (2001) targets Equality in diversity. Can one be more important than the other? #uonteach
Will students feel supported if the teacher doesn't show confidence? Here is a great link by Davis (2013) to inform educators on celebrating #culturalDiversity. The link includes; activities, resources, lesson plans and tips from educators. #uonteach#ccs

Goodman & Hooks (2016) suggest culturally relevant teaching derives from pedagogy which capitalises on the relationships that connect home and school. Interviews, telling stories, books and cultural artefacts are great #teachingtools to celebrate #culturaldiveristy#uonteach#ccs
Creating a unit on #GlobalGoals, specifically objective 3 #GoodHealthandWellBeing, has informed me of the deficit discourse that is coupled by several affairs. This allows for a unit focusing on a synergy of multiple outcomes to support understanding (Giolando, 2019).#uonteach
The Minister for immigration, citizenship and Multicultural Affairs gave a talk at the National Multicultural Launch, addressing how organisations like #RSA aid on a National level. As Educators, how can we involve the community to aid in teaching students local issues? #uonteach
Focusing my unit of work on #CulturalDiversity has introduced multicultural and human rights issues. With the political agendas broadcasting on various media platforms, now is a great time to discuss intercultural understanding with students #uonteach

Australia is the most successful multicultural country in the world. Today I had the pleasure of meeting members of the many different local multicultural communities at an event in Koondoola, WA. Even managed to have a quick game of table tennis as well 🏓
Here is a great ICT resource that can be used in classrooms or at home to meaningfully engage students on global perspectives. Following the students from diverse backgrounds creates an appreciation to diverse cultures from personal affiliation #uonteach

Follow the lives of children living around the world in this wonderful #educational series. Whether they speak different #languages or have different #customs, students can discover that some #childhood experiences are universal! https://t.co/mteekYtXJg
