The Importance of Multiple Perspectives in Complex Educational Issues
Incorporating multiple perspectives in education is one of the most effective ways of improving learning outcomes. Students may be attached to one perspective, but teachers must teach students how to understand and incorporate divergent perspectives. A community-based approach is one of the most effective ways of enabling students to understand multiple perspectives. An analysis of different viewpoints into a curriculum will enable students to explore different situations for incorporating new skills. Multiple perspectives are critical for promoting a good learning environment as well as strengthening the classroom community.
Dimensions of personal identity for teachers and their impact of identity on students
There are various teacher dimensions for personal identity, and they impact significantly on the students, parents as well as the general community. Some of the dimensions include the personality traits of teachers and the relationship between the teachers and the students, and the parents and the community. These dimensions affect education equality. Addressing education inequality requires a combined approach from all stakeholders in the education sector since teachers and students alone cannot foster this equality. It is the responsibility of teachers to impact students with opportunities that are aimed at promoting social justice.
Additionally, teachers should look into ways of decreasing deficit-based thinking and increasing asset-based thinking. By so doing, students can divert attention from their social problems and thereby enabling them to focus more on books and lessons. The result of this move is that it increases their energy and enthusiasm and thereby enabling them to improve their learning abilities. The process above augments self-reflection and should be intertwined with an education setting that promotes equality. Finally, it is imperative to foster collaboration and communication with other colleagues as a way of coming up with solutions to various educational problems.
