Curriculum Integration to Promote Student Outcomes Michelle Williams Grand Canyon University EAD 520 Professor Deis July 4, 2018
Implementing a Non-Culturally Biased Curriculum A non-culturally biased curriculum welcomes differences in all students and works to eliminate biases and unfairness. We can eliminate Cultural biases in teaching by: Becoming culturally aware of the students that you teach. Helping students develop self awareness and an appreciation for the cultures of other students. Model tolerance Provide cooperative learning opportunities among students. Celebrate other languages spoken in the classroom.
Supporting Differentiated Learning Needs Differentiated instruction is the approach that we take in teaching our students with different abilities in the same class. It is how we as teachers make coursework obtainable for all students. Differentiation includes: Utilizing efficient classroom management Assessing each students readiness in all subject areas Encouraging student interaction Responding to all students various learning styles Grouping students for instruction Learning each students zone of proximal development The intent is to maximize each student's growth and individual success by meeting each student where he or she is rather than expecting students to modify themselves for the curriculum. (Hall, 2002)

Technology can be integrated into instruction by: Prezi Presentations Kahoots PowerPoint E-Books IKnowIt Virtual manipulatives Student Blogs Accelerated Reader Student E- Trading Google Slides Story Jumper Student Created Videos
