CANTARELLI, Juliana Mezomo  and  GENRO, Maria Elly Herz. Teachers and diversity in the classroom: deconstructing: prejudice and citizenship potentiating. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2016, vol.24, n.2, pp.280-297. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v24i2.5243.

Education became public and free, but these achievements have generated situations that are hard to be managed, since many teachers do not know how to deal with the diversity now present in schools, because they were not prepared for it. Others believe only on meritocracy that allows people to "win" as a result of their own effort, will and dedication. However, more and more students from different socioeconomic and cultural levels are made present in everyday school life, learn to work with these issues becomes an obligation for all teachers. That said, it is necessary for the teacher to want to learn and to be open to new ideas. Still, it is necessary to provide the teacher with opportunities for these reflections to occur, for teachers are also the result of their own culture. So it is up to the directing team and to government programs to build these spaces where teachers may have the opportunity to (un)build and (re)learn, seeking a new path with greater equality, opportunity and justice for all.

Keywords : Teachers; Diversity; Prejudice; Citizenship.
