Educational institutions need to recognize and accommodate the individual needs of learners from culturally diverse backgrounds, of whom a large number are Blacks and Hispanics. To accommodate the educational needs of these learners, educators need to build on their entry-level strengths, which have been identified as: (1) orientation toward sports and other activities requiring use of psychomotor skills; (2) desire to engage in role playing: (3) problem-oriented approach to learning; (4) frequent use of an inductive approach to learning; (5) perseverance; (6) abstract verbal ability; and (7) need for cooperative learning experiences. The life style of the culturally diverse learner often places emphasis on skills and norms that are in conflict with the middle-class orientation of most schools. Teaching methods that closely match the learning styles of these learners include visual, kinesthetic, and tactile strategies; role-playing and socio-dramatic strategies; the use of a performance contract; computer-assisted instruction; and a tutoring plan. Teaching strategies that fully accommodate these learners' needs must continue to be explored in order to ensure that these learners reach their full potential. (DJR)
