What does Diversity mean to me?
Diversity means every person or group has unique characteristics, abilities, beliefs, opinions, traditions, and appearances that can be different from others around them.
Diversity means to me all types of religions, races, ethnicities, cultures, etc., living in harmony, free of any and all prejudices. Equality and diversity should go hand in hand.
Diversity can refer to many variations of experiences, backgrounds, values, beliefs, etc. present within our communities and our world.
The existence and, more importantly, the acceptance of differences or heterogeneity in class, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, physical capabilities, and other cultural, social and political backgrounds.
A celebration of individuality
Diversity is a variety of people working together as a whole and not letting differences divide them.
Diversity is so important in the world today especially for children. This book “Children Just Like Me” will teach children about the dreams and beliefs, hopes and fears, and day-to-day events of other children's lives, understanding not just the obvious differences between one another, but discovering the extraordinary similarities.
Denice,
ReplyDeleteDiversity is an important part of our world and classroom. It is our duty to make them feel part of the environment and validated. I hope one day soon equality and diversity do go hand in hand like you said. Our children need to learn that being different is important and the 'cool' thing. That looks like a great book! Every educational environment should have a copy.
