So as you continue to teach and leave your mark on the education world, consider how fair your classroom is. Maybe there isn’t extreme racism or inequality, but are favorites being played? Are you creating the best learning environment for everyone? If you are a parent, are you expressing your concerns to the school if one comes up? Are you making sure your child knows the difference between right and wrong, or is your child the one at school refusing to share or cooperate? We must make sure all students feel included and welcomed. Schools are meant to be safe and create successful learners. Schools with inclusive cultures are likely to be filled with the presence of leadership which encourages a range of individuals to participate (Ainscow, 2008, p. 405). Schooling serves the purpose of educating and socializing children in a way that will be directly linked to the future of a particular nation (Baker, 2005, p. 2). Creating these leaders and stressing inclusion will create more peace in the world and better guidance for nations in the time to come.
If you're trying to reach teachers in the US in particular, how might you relate this to them in particular? If you're reaching a wider audience?
