Abstract
This paper discusses management and training of a diverse workforce--a true need of today when the American workforce is becoming increasingly diverse. The best practices model applied by teachers in the diverse classroom would be a good framework for organizations to work in. For affirmative action that forces the acceptance of diversity must be put in practice to avoid difficult circumstances.

Abstract
This paper explains that, because psychology is both an applied science and an academic field studying human behavior, it has become one of the most diverse sciences. Of the 54 listed sub-disciplines, all of which focus on human behavior, the author reviews the specialized fields of environmental psychology, industrial/organizational psychology and educational psychology that also can be combined. The paper concludes by the author describing the sub-disciples of psychology that he uses at this job as a correctional counselor at a military facility.

"The branch of Industrial and Organizational psychology takes workplace issues both at the individual and at the company level and researches to improve wellbeing and performance of employees and organizations. From planning to actual workplace and employee selection, this branch of psychology takes themes from the broad field of psychology and applies them to the business world. Another example would be educational psychology. Again major themes from the field of psychology are used in an educational environment to discover the cognitive abilities of students. According to Educational Psychology (2011), "Educational psychology is the study of the social, ethical, and cognitive development of students as they progress from children to adult learners. Educational psychologists develop and apply theories of teaching, learning, and human development to determine the most effective ways for educators to teach students. In developing curricula, educational psychologists look at topics such as instructional methods, individual differences in learning, and behavioral and cognitive theories of education. Educational psychologists research ideas like the multiple intelligence theory, appropriate learning goals, and what motivates students to learn. They then use this type of research to build better instructional curricula in an effort to improve the quality of education. All three of these sub-disciplines of psychology have their basis in the major underlying themes of the field of psychology as a whole."

From the Paper
"A number of trends and developments have paved the way for globalization, the homogenization of the world's cultures into a global marketplace of trade. As Legrain maintains the beauty of globalization is that it can free people from the tyranny of geography. Leading the way in the move toward globalization are those structures known as multi-national enterprises. The increasing spread of democratic governments, liberalization of trade, liberal neo-economic reforms, the rise of technology and the emergence of a truly global market for goods

Abstract
This paper examines how the United States is a nation of multi-cultural diversity and how, today, educational institutions are faced with a difficult problem of improving their standards and adapting their curricula to cater to the learning requirements of students from a variety of cultural origins. It looks at how some of the institutions have tried to overcome this problem by having multiple standards for the native English-speaking and the LEP (Least English Proficiency). It analyzes how this approach has seriously handicapped the LEP students by lowering their standards and attempts to propose a remedial solution.

From the Paper
"Teaching is taken to a new dimension when teachers follow a cross- disciplinary approach. This is especially so in a multicultural class environment wherein students from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds are involved. In a cross disciplinary approach, as and when the students encounter a new term (culturally) the teacher takes time to delve in depth about that particular aspect. This may consume considerable time and effort but it is always rewarded with a better understanding on the part of the student. Furthermore research also indicates that teachers with multilingual abilities help the LEP students to understand and assimilate the subject content better by providing them with translations in their own languages as and when required."

Abstract
The paper discusses diversity in learning styles, gender differences, ethnicity and social class and students with disabilities. The paper focuses on five aspects of ethnicity that are potential sources of student-student and student-teacher misunderstandings: verbal communication, nonverbal communication, time orientation, social values and instructional formats and learning processes. The paper emphasizes how teachers must create instructional opportunities that are adapted to fit the needs of all the students in the classroom.

From the Paper
"A learning style can be defined as a consistent preference over time and subject matter for perceiving, thinking about, and organizing information in a particular way. As stated in Temple University's Performance standards for Teachers, "Teaching that facilitates active learning is characterized by competence in involving students in lessons by providing a non threatening environment which allows them to ask questions, seek solutions, share thinking about a theme or topic, and respond to other's viewpoints." "Standards IV: Diversity." [NBPTS Career and Technical Education Standards.]"
"Some students, for example, prefer to think about the nature of the task, collect relevant information, and formulate a detailed plan before taking action, while others prefer to run with the first idea they have and see where it leads. Some students prefer to work on several aspects of a task simultaneously, while others prefer to work on one aspect at a time in a logical sequence."

Abstract
This paper explains that diversity has become a key buzzword in the American human resources management vocabulary, resulting in the adoption of standardized operating procedures, but, when applied to multinational businesses at various global locations, these two seemingly noble principles are not always commensurate or harmonious in practice. The author points out that, even in the U.S., tensions regarding the standardized operating procedures of the employer's American workplace can be rooted in sociocultural misinterpretations, frustrations, and confusions from cultural shock regarding the different faiths and ethnic assumptions of employees. The paper suggest that, when relating to foreign multinational companies, a hands-off attitude may be the best policy; the founding company must be careful not to direct the employment practices and management of franchisees' staff, but when the resources and guidance are not gaining strides in production, such policies may need to be evaluated.

From the Paper
"The conflict is even more manifest in business, which requires standardized procedures to remain financially afloat and competitive on a global level, but also requires tolerance of local cultures and practices to retain employees and to make products attractive. There are now more new faces and diversity amongst the global workforce and more multinational business than ever before. This trend is expected to continue into the 21st century, particularly with the creation of international alliances of trade and commerce such as the European Union and the use of the Internet in global commerce, further connecting the marketplaces of the world."

Abstract
This five page paper discusses managing a diverse workforce. The author notes that successful management of a diverse workforce primarily depends upon an awareness of how racial, cultural and regional values influence the performance and interaction of employees. The writer further discusses that the emotional freedom to be forthright about race, gender and cultural values is often related to greater job satisfaction and, ultimately, to greater individual and perhaps even collective productivity.

"Successful management of a diverse workforce primarily depends upon an awareness of how racial, cultural, and regional values influence the performance and interaction of employees. The emotional freedom to be forthright about race, gender, and cultural values is often related to greater job satisfaction and, ultimately, to greater individual and perhaps even collective productivity. In order to promote this attitude, managers should be aware of studies which have found that minorities working for companies with nondiscrimination policies that included effective cultural diversity programs were more satisfied with their jobs, since a positive working environment is certain to foster greater job satisfaction, peer acceptance, and workplace morale."

Abstract
This paper relates observations on a student from Poland and his difficulties in integrating with his class. Recommendations are made on how the teacher can resolve the issues in the classroom.

From the Paper
"The effects of linguistic and cultural diversity upon a student from another culture in the classroom can be substantial. As the Bridging Cultures in Our Schools pamphlet points out; "Like individuals and groups, schools have cultures too. These usually mirror the culture of the dominant society." (Trumbul Rothstein-Fisch Greenfield) Observation of a linguistically and culturally diverse student can elucidate the impacts of such diversity upon the student's learning and this paper details such observation of one student whose different..."
