"When you look at a person, any person, remember that everyone has a story..."
It is important to remember that everyone has a story. Providing opportunities for people to tell their stories is an essential step in the process of accepting and understanding who people are and where they come from. We meet so many people in our lives. Taking a moment to listen and not judge can make all the difference when it comes to accepting people for who they are. Past experiences shape individuals. However, beliefs, values and perspectives continue to evolve as people build new relationships and gain new experiences from life. My personal experiences, my professional growth, and the relationships I build with people will continue to influence what diversity means to me and what it means in my classroom.
What does diversity mean to you?
How can you help students acknowledge and be accepting of differences in your classroom?
