This article provides evidence for a "direct and explicit approach" to racial diversity education. The author demonstrates an enlightened approach that transcends the post-critical shift by allocating quantitative and qualitative data to their appropriate analytical application.

This article provides me an opportunity to ask: Is diversity education about teaching diversity or harnessing the unique skillsets of a diverse population to create synergistic education?

The website Fighting for Democracy contains lessons showing student what role diversity has played in the development of democracy through an online exhibit.

This site has several links to pages with strategies for dealing with diversity.

The website itself is about building better communities by creating "equitable and just schools." The page I have bookmarked is a list of handouts relating to multicultural education and working around poverty and the social classes. The material at times is out of the norm for the typical teacher, but there are gems hidden amongst the ideas.

Numerous ways to teach English to children including puzzles, flashcards, games, and songs. No registration required.

This page has a little bit of everything. Tools, guides, lesson plans, etc. Plus, you can type "diversity" into the search bar on this site and get many articles on diversity.

I recently went through the Master Resiliency Trainer Course (MRT) and it's a very good course. We had to figure out what our character strengths were by taking the VIA (Values in action) survey. There is one on this link for kids. Imagine if you KNEW what your student strengths were. Imagine if they knew what their strengths were. Could this impact your teaching? Under questionnaires, take the VIA for yourself. Have your students take it. It could be useful.

Very interesting! I just might try this soon!

This would be so beneficial to high school students and even elementary and middle. I could see it really helping high school students to help in making career choices possibly. Thanks for sharing!

Although this research was designed for the workplace, the dynamics of interdependent collaboration are just as relevant in the classroom to achieve learning and social integration among diverse groups.

This article provides a foundational vision to provide the last attempt to socialize our young adults to move our culture into the next stage in American social development. This shift corresponds and perhaps correlates the intellectual shift toward a post-critical era; in which consideration for the observer or subject is taken into account along with the object of study.
