ABOUT+THIS+WIKI

I decided to do this wiki about diversity because I am of a diverse background. I feel that even though the public schools are full of students with diverse backgrounds like myself, diversity is not really included into the curriculum. I think teachers and schools try to act "colorblind" that they ignore the beautiful differences we all have. I think being different is not a bad thing and it is okay to be proud of being from a different color, race, religion, gender, sexuality or whatever. I have created this wiki to provide ideas of how to include diversity in the classroom and at home. I have also included extra resources with books and other information about diversity. I hope everyone that visits this wiki finds it helpful and easy to include diversity into their lives and classrooms.

Remember diversity is something to celebrate! Eliana Cardenas Illinois State Student ElEd Major 224-511-0000 emcarde@ilstu.edu
