AllWe are all different; we learn differently, we eat different foods, we dress differently, we talk differently, we look different. How do we recognize why and how to be respectful of diversity?
This session focuses on building The Respecting Diversity Program in your classroom and in your school by giving students and staff the tools needed to highlight, recognize and respect the strengths and differences in ourselves and others…all while building personal self-awareness. Let's highlight the importance of social emotional learning by teaching students (and staff) to recognize and celebrate differences. Together we will build strong and inclusive communities
