Educational Intervention

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer discusses that in today's modern society, schools are sometimes forced to leave some children behind. However, for some multicultural students, the noble idea of not leaving a child behind has not yet been taken seriously with the general public and a lot of educational systems which includes special education. Furthermore, the writer notes that the progressions of credentials, assessment, categorization, placement, and instruction have truly meant to put down their cultural and linguistic differences. With that, it is apparent that school systems overlook multiculturalism and diversity especially in educational intervention, where the minority students are placed. The writer concludes that educational intervention is an issue in school systems because multiculturalism and diversity is not a main concern for those who are not a part of minority groups.

From the Paper:

"From the above techniques, it is apparent that some of the communication techniques can be used on a minority group of children within educational intervention to break down some of the cultural barriers. For example, prompting children for good behavior and using computers as a way to communicate with minority children can be extremely helpful until a proper way of communicating between the educator and student becomes establish, which they will feel comfortable with. Once a communication technique is established, it will become easier to understand one's another culture and way of thinking. Furthermore, educational intervention would be more accepting of multiculturalism and diversity, which means no child will be left behind despite their cultural differences."
