Extractions: Colorado at Boulder Cultural diversity is a fact, often unacknowledged, of our national history. And while it is true that fostering diversity is an idea which is consistent with some of our most enduring national ideals, such as respect for the right of each individual to pursue life in their own fashion, promoting these ideals in the classroom can often prove very difficult. The difficulties which must be overcome stem from several sources: 1. A basic lack of knowledge about the diverse peoples and lifestyles that have always been a part of the American experience. 2. Inherited prejudices and stereotypes, many of which are unacknowledged and/or un-known.

Extractions: Associate Dean and Associate Vice Provost, Graduate School Approaches to Diversity in the Curriculum Diversity in the curriculum at public, research I universities encompasses several interrelated concerns: ensuring that graduates have requisite diversity knowledge and competencies; supporting undergraduate and graduate curricula in fields of study focusing on diversity; sequencing the study of diversity within curricula and programs; providing faculty development in effective pedagogical techniques for teaching in diverse classrooms; and ensuring student satisfaction with opportunities for study. Universities normally ensure that their graduates have necessary knowledge and competencies related to diversity through diversity requirements (Fitzgerald and Lauter, 2003). In 1995, the UW Faculty Senate, responding to defeat of a student-sponsored diversity requirement, passed a resolution encouraging all departments to create more courses that teach students to think critically about diversity.

The District of Columbia and its surrounding counties are an example of demographic changes in U.S. metropolitan areas.

These lessons were developed by Susan Dennis, a social studies teacher at Anacostia Senior High School, and Cheryl Lynn Stauffer, at the Population Reference Bureau.

Extractions: Overview Cultural diversity has emerged as one of the most important issues for educators in the 21st century, both for those teaching and leading in culturally homogeneous environments, and those working in culturally diverse classrooms, schools, and communities. It is becoming increasingly evident that, in addition to the basic professional certification and degree requirements, educators of today and tomorrow also need to understand and respond effectively to the ever growing diversity of students they encounter. Thus, cultural awareness and intercultural competence are becoming one of the major professional requirements for urban and suburban schools and communities. The major goals of the ACTLD program are to raise cultural awareness and intercultural competence through tolerance, sensitivity, understanding, and learning. In addition, teachers will acquire creative strategies and basic techniques for dealing effectively with cultural diversity in their classrooms, schools, and communities.For more information, please contact:
