Celebrating diversity is essential, especially at a young age. There are many benefits in doing so. Please read the following from Drexel University, as it discusses what diversity can look like within a classroom and the importance of teaching and celebrating diversity:
"In our increasingly diverse and multicultural society, it’s more important than ever for teachers to incorporate culturally responsive instruction in the classroom... And the increase of diversity doesn’t only relate to race and ethnicity; it can include students of different economic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and language background."
"Fostering inclusion and awareness around multicultural education and taking a culturally responsive approach to teaching benefits all students. Not only does creating greater multicultural awareness and inclusion help students with different backgrounds and needs succeed, but it encourages acceptance and helps prepare students to thrive in an exponentially diverse world."
