MANAGING DIVERSITY AT SCHOOLS
MANAGING DIVERSITY AT SCHOOLS
Diversity management focuses on the management style of organisations and teachers and how they deal with diversity.
Diversity is not an issue, but rather something that needs to be managed. Diversity management is a subset of diversity leadership, thus the two are not mutually exclusive. The term “diversity leadership” refers to the practice of leading with tolerance, respect, and sensitivity in the face of a wide range of individual differences, including but not limited to gender, language, religion, race, ethnicity, and political ideology, while also making use of these differences to further the goals of the organization.
This course will provide you with the resources and techniques you need to succeed in an intercultural teaching environment.
The training will provide teachers (and other professionals who work with people of different backgrounds) with a set of practical activities and a legal framework that they may utilize in their classrooms to build a more inclusive and varied classroom environment.
To create resiliency in classrooms, participants will engage in creative workshops that foster respect and provide students with a space to learn as well as an opportunity to succeed.
