What is DIVERSITY?

It is the quality or state of having many

different forms, types, ideas, etc.
 its time for parents to teach young people
early on that in DIVERSITY there is beauty and
there is strength.
 DIVERSITY is a multidimensional, broadly
inclusive concept that acknowledges and
embraces the richness of human differences.
Diversity is a topic that comes up time and time again when
discussing the state of education and the ever-increasing
diversity in our schools and communities. But are the
demographics of our nation really so different from what
they were 20 years ago — or are we just becoming more
aware of other cultures as technology brings the global
community into our homes? “We are moving toward a
society in which individuality is retained and valued and a
cultural mosaic is created from millions of unique pieces.”
These strategies, when implemented in the
classroom and at the school level, can
positively affect each student both
academically and behaviorally in the
inclusive diverse classroom.
 As young children start to recognize human
differences, teachers can help them develop a
foundation of respect and inclusion. What are
the best practices to implement in an
intercultural approach? What is the role of
Education to mold these children on how to
react on these differences?
 Teachers need to be aware of the diversity issues that relate to quality
teaching practice, benefits for community, law, equal opportunities, human
rights, and education. In order to address diversity principles and approaches,
teachers also need to know how to design, deliver and evaluate learning
opportunities to help meet the needs of a diverse student body. One of the
ways in which teachers can determine the learning needs of diverse student
groups is by thinking about how different students learn. Here, we do not just
mean how student learn in terms of individual learning styles. We are referring
to students' learning patterns and preferences relate to their earlier and
current educational and cultural backgrounds. For example: Different cultures
have different perceptions/understandings of the role of teachers and other
students with expectations differing accordingly. Students who hold very strong
views about race, politics, religion or sexuality may find it difficult to cope
with an objective, open discussion or with students who hold opposing views.
This may cause potential conflict in the classroom.
What is disadvantage and advantage?
Advantage means that it provides a beneficial function to
something.

A disadvantage means that it prevents beneficial functions.

Merit and fault are ethical/moral categories, and don't
necessarily mean it brings functional benefits or
disadvantages

Women’s are not dying because of the disease we cannot treat, they
