Multicultural education values different student cultures

Posted on | by admin3

 

Multicultural education values different student cultures and prepares students to thrive in a diverse world. At its core, multicultural education fosters equality, justice, and equity, and it establishes the reality of philosophical ideals in classroom environments. Multicultural education is what schools implement to establish equitable educational opportunities for all their students. It is also an ongoing process of helping students succeed in their academic and personal lives.

Teachers, administrators, and school leaders play an important role in ensuring the incorporation of multicultural education by selecting and managing policies, curricula, and teaching styles. The practice relies on educators who value the histories and experiences of diverse groups of students. Schools and teachers can approach multicultural education in a variety of ways, supporting students as they develop positive perspectives of their own cultures as well as the cultures of their peers. By incorporating culturally responsive pedagogy in curricula and teaching practices, teachers can create an inclusive classroom that values all students.

Cultural Considerations

Submit an evidence-based practice assignment about cultural competency in mental health nursing. An evidence-based practice assignment allows you to explore best practice and help improve client outcomes on a psychiatric unit. Your assignment should describe how you, as a nurse, will include – or have included – cultural awareness in a client diagnosed with a mental illness. The person you describe could be someone in your clinical setting, someone you have worked with in the past, or a theoretical client.

Assessment: Discuss what you would assess in regard to a client’s culture. For example, are there specific dietary requirements? Are schedule changes necessary to avoid conflicts with religious practices? Who is the spokesperson for the family? What would you assess?
Diagnosis: List any mental health nursing diagnoses this person has or may be at risk for. Include at least one cultural diagnosis.
Planning: What planning needs to be done to ensure the cultural and emotional safety of the client?
Implementation: What are interventions that would ensure the safety of your client in regard to culture? Include at least two interventions. For example, if your client has religious beliefs that affect the ability to take medications, what interventions would you create to ensure the client’s safety? What can you do to make sure the client’s cultural needs are met?
Evaluation: How will you evaluate whether your implementation was effective? Make sure the parameters are objective and measurable.
In your summary, discuss whether any completed interventions were successful. What could be done differently in the future? If the interventions have not yet been carried out, you might discuss some institutional changes that could be made to ensure cultural safety for all clients in that setting.

his/her development and functioning? What is the socioeconomic status of the family or

character? How does that impact the character’s development? Are there patterns of abuse,

neglect, and /or addiction on the part of the character or his/her family members? How does

that affect the character’s development? How does your chosen theory explain this? Etc.

b. Chapter 2: Strengths Perspective

Examine the character’s skills, goals, talents, abilities, and resources, as well as the strengths

and resources found in his/her environments.

c. Create an Ecomap diagram depicting the character in his/her environment. See page 41 in the

textbook

2. Choose one theory or perspective from each of the following chapters:

a. Chapter 3 (biopsychosocial) pick one: Piaget’s Cognitive Development, Freud’s Stages in

Psychosexual Development, or Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development. Explain how

the character displays typical issues of each of the stages of development?

Thinking about the field in which you work, is it culture bound? If so, what are the culturally learned definitions of reality, space and or time that imposes limits on your field? Does a paradigm limit the way in which people in your field see reality and the possibilities of the future? As an applied sociologist, how might you use qualitative or community based research to create the sort of future you would like to see for the field in which you work?
