Unit Objectives

1. Participants will identify the factors of diversity within their future learning environments.
2. Participants will locate resources and tools to utilize in creating diversity-neutral learning environments.
3. Participants will analyze resources and tools for practical use in their future diversity-neutral learning environments.

Brainstorm Diversity Factors

• Analyze the different factors of diversity that are present in your current learning environment (or, if you aren't currently teaching or facilitating, that could potentially be a part of your future learning environments)

Locate Online Resources

• Locate online resources to help you to create more diversity-neutral learning environments

• Good examples of resources:

• EdChange
• Cornell University's Center for Teaching Excellence

• Create a bookmarks folder in your browser or make a Diigo account to keep track of the resources and sites you are finding

• Post on this shared Diversity Inclusion Online Resources wiki-space specific ones that appeal to you, why, and in what contexts you could use them

Check Out These Ideas!

• Here are some of these specific links to an activity (similar to the one from the video in the prezi) and handouts:

• Class Equity Handout
• Incorporating Diversity Handout
• Crossing the Line Activity

• Are these types of tools and resources useful to you as an educator? Think specifically about how you could incorporate these things into your learning environments. If these types of tools are not useful to you, go back to drawing board and re-assess your needs.
