Evelyne Barker Quotations

When you're working with children from other places you have to be open-minded to the fact that they bring some (positive) differences.

We can learn from them. They can create an environment in the classroom where the children who are from the mainstream can get another view of world reality.

(Culturally-diverse) children on the playground are exchanging expressions among themselves. And those changes have been integrated into the curriculum. There's a heightened interest (in) learning about other countries, especially when you have a child in the classroom who can talk to you about their homeland. It has brought challenges to the schools that they never had before.

I've seen teachers label just about everything in the classroom. And they'll put up a bulletin board that represents the different cultures in their classroom. That makes the child feel accepted.
