| Summary: | Currently, diversity education is offered at college campuses across America, which
gives young adults an open mindedness and creates an accepting environment so all students are
recognized and respected that the K-12 public education system cannot provide. With the
evolving diverse population of this country, it would follow that public education would
integrate curriculum that fosters the same accepting environment in order for all students to feel
welcomed in the classroom. This thesis looks at the effects that acceptance in the classroom can
have on a student as well as a new method by Cotton, AIR, that is used in several workshop
examples as well as resources for teachers looking to blend this into their teaching. |
