Diversity in the MC ~ Malena

Diversity in schools relates to the cultural background of the students and also their learning styles and abilities. I think that media specialists can support cultural diversity by joining in with world language teachers or social studies and celebrating the various monthly celebrations like Black History, Hispanic Heritage, Native American month, etc. Learning disabilities or special modifications can also be addressed by the media program by providing resources that these students need. For example, the media center could purchase large print books to assist vision impaired students, audiobooks can also be helpful to these students. Text reader programs can also be a great addition to technology in the media center
