14. As a teacher aide in a multicultural classroom, you should realize that

A. your teacher is the best resource for information on diversity-related information.
B. it’s up to you to help improve children’s attitudes today, so we can have a better world tomorrow.
C. multicultural awareness is a lifelong endeavor.
D. the best way to teach a child about other cultures is to learn about his or her own heritage first.

I have read all the material and seem to not be able to say that I have a firm answer.

I am going for "D" as an answer...however, I need help.

A teacher's aide must use the teacher as the first resource.

Please note that many teachers expect the aides to defer to them and follow their instructions. After all, the aide is there to help the teacher fulfill her plans.

I agree with Ms. Sue.

I've known lots of really wonderful aides, many of whom studied to get their teaching credentials while they were working as aides in classrooms. However, until they had their credentials and their own classrooms, the aides knew that the teachers were in charge of -- and responsible for -- whatever happened in the classrooms.

Thank you both. I am going to finish up this test tonight...and will like to get some feedback on my answers.

I can not thank you both enough. This is so important to me.

You're very welcome. Good luck!

my answer is A

Sorry but the answer is NOT A

C

Yes, that's correct! Answer C is the most appropriate. Multicultural awareness is a lifelong process and it's important to continue learning and adapting to better support diverse groups of students. Good job!

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option:

A. Your teacher is the best resource for information on diversity-related information.
While it is true that teachers can be a valuable resource for information on diversity, this option is not a comprehensive answer to the question. It does not specifically address the role of a teacher aide in a multicultural classroom.

B. It's up to you to help improve children's attitudes today, so we can have a better world tomorrow.
This option emphasizes the importance of the teacher aide's role in shaping children's attitudes towards diversity. While it conveys a positive message, it does not directly address the concept of multicultural awareness.

C. Multicultural awareness is a lifelong endeavor.
This option recognizes that developing multicultural awareness is an ongoing process that extends beyond the classroom. While it is generally true, it does not specifically address the role or responsibilities of a teacher aide.

D. The best way to teach a child about other cultures is to learn about his or her own heritage first.
This option suggests that understanding and appreciating one's own heritage can enhance the ability to teach and appreciate other cultures. While it seems relevant to the tasks of a teacher aide in a multicultural classroom, it is important to note that this option is not explicitly focused on the role of a teacher aide.

Considering the context of your question and the possible answers, option B is the most suitable answer. It acknowledges the responsibility of the teacher aide to improve children's attitudes towards diversity, aligning with the role of a teacher aide in a multicultural classroom. However, it's worth mentioning that all the options contain valid points related to multicultural education, so it's essential to consider the broader perspectives and principles emphasized in your materials as well.
