11. EFFECTS OF SOCIO- CULTURAL DIVERSITY Structured classroom activities can highlight diversity . In a classroom the teacher can structure learning groups that are diverse and devise activities that require each student to contribute to the group. In this way students learn that each person in a group can contribute and has something of value to say. Mutual respect is part of the equation. Teachers should never tolerate disrespect. They should establish ground rules for the class, and even let the kids help to establish these rules. No Child Left Behind shines the light on achievement gaps among diverse groups of students. Schools should strive to create an environment where all children feel valued and all children can learn .
