Discuss why teachers should be attentive to the expanding ethnic diversity in the U.S
What will be an ideal response?
This has resulted in a wider mismatch between the ethnicities of teachers and students, especially students in special education. It may be difficult for teachers, who are often white, to know how to involve families from different cultures. It is important to remember that parents do not have one way of interacting with professionals. Teachers need to be alert to differences and try to accommodate them. One suggestion that often applies with families who are culturally or linguistically diverse is for teachers to become involved with their students' communities.
