Being Culturally Aware

My curriculum web is designed for middle school science students. My population is diverse in every which way, economically, academically, and culturally. The activities on my curriculum web vary and touch upon several multiple intelligences. Some of the intelligences that will be used include mathematical/logical, verbal linguistic, spatial, and bodily kinesthetic. Also, students will use cooperative learning in some of my activities. That will help students who are low and need support from others. Whenever I design an activity, I always try to think of ways to include all kinds of learners.

It's interesting how many things must be considered when speaking of cultural awareness: socioeconomic, education, ethnicity, learning styles, and disabilities. Just thinking of learning styles within the cultural context makes for enormous diversity and challenges for the teacher. Even in a homogeneous social or economic setting the variety of learning styles can be overwhelming.
