In my pedagogy (ped-a-go-gee) class (a class for learning how to teach), our reading for this coming week is on how to be aware of diversity in the classroom. UNC has tremendous resources for professors on how to be better teachers, and one of the issues this week is being aware of diversity issues in the classroom and how to prepare for them. Among the diversity chapters is "non-traditional" students. There is a name for what I am!
