Diversity within Unity: Essential Principles for Teaching and Learning in a Multicultural Society

What do research and experience tell us about the relationship between education and diversity? A consensus panel of interdisciplinary scholars worked over a four-year period and identified 12 major findings. These “essential principles” form the basis for this publication, which can be used by individuals and institutions to assess their institutions and environments vis-à-vis diversity. Visit the web site below to download a PDF of this useful document.
Tips for Teachers and Trainers: The publication contains a checklist for rating the extent to which programs, schools and other organizations reflect the “essential principles” delineated. Ask students/trainees to select a section of the checklist and use it to rate a program, school or organization with which they are familiar. How did the place rate? What strategies could be used to build upon and emphasize areas of strength? What strategies could be used to improve areas of weakness?
