Introduction: Who are we referring to when we consider diversity?

Activity 1. Understanding student diversity 

 

Consider the following questions and discuss them with your critical friends to help contextualise the diversity of learning in a way that aligns to your own work setting.

• What are your own experiences with diversity?
• What do you understand by 'student diversity’?
• How has diversity been part of who you are/how you define yourself?
• How has diversity been part of who you are/how you define yourself as an educator?
• How do you think experiences of diversity might influence the learning experiences of your students?
• How do you think your own experiences of diversity might affect your interaction with your students and/or the way you teach them?

Develop a mind-map to help you with your thinking. A range of free mind-mapping tools are listed here Links to an external site.. You may choose a different tool if you prefer not to use a mind-map.
