Diversity and Hidden Curriculum:
Concerning diversity and hidden curriculum in this classroom or building, there seems to be an open-minded curriculum to our diverse world. Although the school has a dominant Caucasian population, all students treated in the same way as other students by staff. In general, faculty treat all students whether they have disabilities or nor, basically similar in various aspects. The school population is constantly changing as it becomes more diverse, and students are learning about themselves and about their fellow classmates as individuals. Although there are occasional issues in any school, this school rarely has problems with students dealing with diversity within the educational setting. Teachers implement diverse content in their curriculum. All content areas incorporate diverse aspects during instruction to improve/promote acceptance, equality, and compassion for fellow mankind. Students respond to instruction as they outwardly show how serious and tragic topics affect them emotionally (i.e. holocaust, slavery, national disasters such as 911). It is crucial to teach students about historical moments around the world, especially to influence how to prevent tragic reoccurrences that can be avoided by learning from past history. Teachers must set examples to positively influence students to be accepting in a diverse world.
