// Definition of Diversity //



The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along  the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond  simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual.

Chasati, The paragraph about diversity is very good. I'm assuming you wrote it since there's no author mentioned. One of the primary goals of this class is to encourage educators to allow for the "explorations of these differences (diversity) in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment". I like the "D-I-V-E-R-S-I-T-Y montage of pictures as it speaks volumes in a simple format. (Connie)

Chasati, the part that is important for me is the quotation that "it's OK not to be perfect. I come down so hard on myself sometimes. Thatquotation always helps me, thanks for putting it in. (Alan)
