“Student diversity is defined not only
by race but by disability.”
“Student diversity is differences between students and teachers.”
“We are diverse in our cultural backgrounds, with students who
speak over 20 different languages. We are also diverse in our abilities
and family situations-- both economic and personal.”
“Diversity reflects gender, race, socio-economic
status, regional culture within a race, religion,
sexual preference, marital status and so many other aspects of who we are as
people.”
“Students are diverse in many ways – skill levels, learning abilities, how they learn, and life outside of school (family, socioeconomic status)”
