As part of the secondary education program, all of the courses that I’ve taken have been united in the purpose to promote teaching to each individual’s needs in order to foster meaningful, appropriate and effective instruction in a diverse, multicultural environment. Though my own previous experiences in high school classrooms lacked diverse perspectives, my courses and professors in the education program have been helpful in preparing me to step out of my comfort zone to better relate to my students, especially in the very diverse classroom I work in now at Rogers High School in Newport. I really appreciate being able to experience classroom situations that are unlike my own high school, and I feel that because of this I will be all the more prepared for whatever comes my way in my own future classroom.​
