I learned that “diversity” goes far beyond race or ethnicity — it includes culture, language, abilities, experiences, and perspectives that make each student unique. Recognizing this helps create an environment where every student feels valued and supported. It’s not just about acknowledging differences, but about using them to strengthen learning and understanding within the classroom. I plan to apply this by being more intentional about inclusion, listening to different viewpoints, and making sure everyone has an equal opportunity to contribute and succeed.
