After reviewing a directive from the superintendent that required all principals to develop a plan to enhance respect and appreciation for diversity in district schools, Mr. Rom, Principal of Overview High School, approached you for some ideas to include in his initial discussion with the faculty. The advice you provided was to suggest to the faculty that they consider the values of a diverse
school community because:
a. Seldom does it prove to be beneficial when all individuals are not treated with dignity and respect. If this occurs, the school is not likely to come any closer to meeting its established goals.
b. Together members of a diverse school community cannot create a unique interrelated unit that must be served some of the time; therefore, diversity should not be considered as the curriculum is formulated.
c. The interaction of people, the language they use, traditions they uphold, and the beliefs to which they subscribe make up the culture of the local school. However, these cultural variables do not have to be addressed in the curriculum.
d. Diversity is directly related to student achievement.
