Diversity Awareness Activities for Creating A Positive Classroom Environment: Activity Book for Grades K-12

Designed, specifically, for k-12 educators, this book has step-by-step instructions to assist educators in facilitating fun, interactive, educational activities that can be used to present diversity awareness into any k-12 curriculum. With over 100 pages of information, each activity includes objectives, specific set-up narratives, lists of materials needed, step-by-step descriptions on how to facilitate the activity with scripts, worksheets for students, and even key points that can help to direct each activity to meet the needs of your specific curriculum. Sections include icebreakers, defining “diversity”, confronting negative assumptions, confronting stereotyping, confronting name-calling, effective interpersonal communication, and much more. There is even a glossary of terms broken into two categories: one for students from ages 8-12 and another for students from ages 13-18. The author and k-12 educators in all grades and in dozens of subjects have used these activities for years to create a positive classroom environment that can enhance any curriculum in order to make the school community abundant for learning.
