Multicultural and Inclusion Education

1237 Words3 Pages

I consider myself to a long life learner, I realize this fact when I immigrated from my born country El Salvador and I started a life in the U.S. After, I few months in this country, I recognized how important was to learn the English language. But I also learned that some people had the same ambition of learning my native language Spanish due to the most recent immigration wave for Central America and Mexico. Do I consider myself a teacher or do I born to be a teacher? I do not think this is the case, if anything is true is that I was born a leaner, and on my way to achieve my education, I discovered how important is helping others to reach their educational goals. That is why my philosophy of teaching foreign languages comes from my own personal experiences as immigrant, student, and ally to those in need of education. But most important my passion for teaching is because I experienced the importance of learning a new language myself.

My goals as an educator are that my students develop and encounter their full potential in my classroom and in our society; moreover, help them to bring their unique and special gift to the world. To me, in a society like ours in which an amalgam of skin colors, customs, beliefs and styles are mixing in one place is essential that our education system fulfill the most essential civil rights, education. However, most important is that in my teaching goals include a multicultural education to help students to understand our unique differences, an inclusion for all students no matter which their race, color, or disabilities are, and cultural diversity in order to create a caring, accepting and tolerant classroom atmosphere.

...students recognize how much I love my culture and language and how much I enjoy spending my energy on their education. Indeed, I believe that for a teacher there is not greater joy that sees their students to thrive in this society and teach them how exiting is being a bilingual person in this multicultural world that we live in.
