Slide 8 - Tekstslide

CASE 1
Case 1: Teaching materials
Diversity element: Culture
Approach from the role of: Subject teacher

Case description:
On the course materials that you are supposed to use you realize that they are very western centered meaning white people in the pictures/photos, Dutch examples like Dutch products and so on. How can you present the course materials in a more diverse way? Be creative!

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

CASE 2
Case 2: Clash between religion vs school rules
Diversity element: Religion
Approach from the role of: Guide and counselor

Case description:
On a regular basis, you have given your students homework for after the weekend. After class, student X approaches you and tells you that he/she will not be able to deliver the homework as his parents told him he/she will have to dedicate all Sunday to religious activities. How do you respond from the perspective of a guide and counselor? What are the steps you are going to undertake?

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

CASE 3
Case 3: Student collapses due to no food available at home
Diversity element: Socio-economic status
Approach from the role of: Teacher beyond the classroom

Case description:
A student faints during a colleague's Monday morning lesson. The teacher immediately informs the child’s mother of the incident. The mother bursts into tears and explains that her family has not had anything to eat since Friday. How do you react in your role as “teacher beyond the classroom”?

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

CASE 4
Case 4: Increasing inclusivity 
Diversity element: Gender / sexual orientation
Approach from the role of: Professional development

Case description:
In your highschool one of your colleagues explains to you that the ¨he/she¨ identity does not represent the way he/she feels. Therefore from now on the non-binary or genderqueer concepts are the ones chosen by him/her. In the coming days the person will announce it to the rest of the team and the students. How would you approach the situation in terms of your professional development?
