Ellen Franz: Using Community to Close the Cultural Achievement Gap

One of the current educational foundation that lack sufficient implementation in the classroom is the ability to use and understand the cultural differences that exist in different communities to help prosper the individual student. Teachers are not only important for cultural perceptions but also have skills to use this perception when forming relationships between learners and communities. Therefore, they can promote the best learning environment possible.

"It is important to raise awareness at every level that the disparity between achievement of various races affects not only students but also all of us in terms of social, cultural, scholarly and family it is important. this study, in the United States of the education system, low-income and minority children, supported the fact that it can not provide high-quality necessary education in order to compete at the same level as white colleagues When we fail to educate all the children, the outcome is predictable; after all, the students can not succeed in the university or compete in today's economy, Poverty, crime, imprisonment will increase, productivity and quality of life may decline.

In the world of education, the gap of "final" achievement is widely recognized as one of the main challenges facing the public education system in the United States. It is also one of the top priorities for educators and policy makers, elected officials, and those who promise to improve the educational system and individual schools. Achievements and gaps are closely related to equity education, equal access to learning opportunities and educational outcomes, and equality and equality equality concepts.

As the classroom diversifies, cultural ability is quickly becoming a major concern for educators around the world. When creating an inclusive culture and reducing the gap in achieving in the classroom, culturally responsive instruction may be more important than ever. In our society, people often have cultural prejudice or we do not recognize differences in cultures around us. Teachers are not immune-free, but may agree with these attitudes, but this will always hurt student interests. In schools, especially in classrooms, it is important that educators consciously object to including metaphorical walls in other cultures. In order to truly attract students, it is important to remember that their culture is very important.
