Diversity in Education Cathy Rosenberg, M.Ed. The Ohio State University SHAPE America Eastern District Leadership Conference (2009)

We Will Discuss:  The basics of diversity  The implications of diversity on American schools  Ways for teachers to infuse multicultural education in their health, physical education and dance classes

With a partner, discuss & answer these questions:  When we talk about diversity, what do we mean?  How, if at all, does diversity affect you as an educator?  In what ways might you see diversity in the classroom?

Student/Teacher Demographics

Peggy McIntosh (1988) “Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” As a White person:  I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.  I am never asked to speak for all people of my racial group.

 I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having coworkers suspect that I got the job solely because of my race.  I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.  I can choose blemish cover or bandages in “flesh” color and have them more or less match my skin.

Culturally Relevant Teaching  Ladson-Billings, G. (1994, 1999).
