After reviewing the
required resources, identify and discuss three challenges involved with
ensuring that teaching strategies are appropriate for culturally diverse
children. Then, discuss these cultural challenges in the classroom using one
sociological perspective (i.e., functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic
interactionism, etc.) and another relevant perspective, such as Piaget’s
preoperational stage of development. Finally, identify and discuss how the
challenges related to differences in culture may be addressed by a teacher in a
way that increases the child’s cognitive advancement and academic success.
You must use at least
two scholarly sources other than the textbook and required resources for this
assignment. The paper must include a summary of each of the challenges
identified and each of the remedies to those challenges. In addition, you must
include an explanation of the cultural challenges in the classroom using one of
the sociological perspectives and Piaget’s theory of the preoperational stage
of cognitive development.
