Multicultural
Awareness in High School Classroom Management
December 20, 2011
Abstract
The
purpose of this professional development project is to prepare a presentation
about Culturally Responsive Classroom Management for K-12 teachers and present
research based strategies they can use to be culturally responsive in their
classroom management. The literature
review explores the problem of disproportionate numbers for African-American
and Latino students in disciplinary actions. The need for classroom management
that keeps students from dropping out or being expelled from school is
reviewed. The theory of Culturally Responsive Classroom Management is
explained. CRCM is not part of teacher training. Teacher development is
recommended. A PowerPoint and activities for a proposed teacher development
workshop follow the literature review on the subject.
