Diversity Awareness: Staff-to-Student

The goal of this course is to provide school staff members with an overview of issues related to staff-to-student diversity. Topics covered include defining diversity, identifying behaviors - both intentional and unintentional - that can discriminate or contribute to a hostile learning environment, examining communication strategies that will enable staff members to comply with district and state policies, and exploring positive reinforcing behaviors that show respect and appreciation for students who are different than you.
