From the Paper:
"Dealing with molding behavior for a multicultural group is very similar to any group of students. Children need to feel respected and involved to behave appropriately. When diversity enters the classroom respect comes through cross-cultural understanding. The teacher can facilitate respect by modeling and reinforcing appropriate behavior (Burnette, 1999). There will be some students in the classroom that come from a multi-cultural household. These students have already crossed the barriers of diversity and are wonderful role models for uneducated students."Cite this Essay:
