Diversity refers to our differences such as culture, beliefs, values, views and life experiences. The concept of diversity is to accept, respect and embrace our differences. When people with these differences unite and share the same group or organization we see a diverse environment. Working in a childcare setting, we have the potential to work with an abundance of diversity. This can be very rewarding but can also pose challenges. Positively, we have the opportunity to promote the sense of individuality, sense of pride and belonging by providing a safe and nurturing environment. Discussing each other’s differences is a great way to learn and become aware of the differences in the world. One example of promoting diversity is to display the word “welcome” on the door in all first languages spoken in that classroom or even learning how to say hello in each language. The challenges are learning how ensure equality and eliminate discrimination. Introducing children at an early age to diversity will have an impact on their acceptance of others who are different from them. Diversity can also come in the form of race, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities and political beliefs.…

It would be very discouraging for children to be subjected to discriminatory beliefs that are held by either myself or other teachers for example my cousin wanted to be a ballet dancer when he was a child but after teasing from other members of the family suggesting that dancing is only for girls and gay men he did not continue to attend classes. This was something that he regrets as it was a dream of his and now he has grown up he wishes he had been encouraged to dance. By taking any of families or, friends or even my own beliefs in to school is unfair on the children I am there to support. They could be made to feel that if because of their background or who they are means they cannot aspire to be what they want to be so will not reach to achieve their full potential.As with another example my father-in-law is sexist and believes that a woman’s place is in the home cooking, cleaning and looking after the children and if I was to take that to school with me I could treat the girls differently dismissing their work and only encouraging the boys, giving the girls the false idea of they are not good enough. For example: “Both men and women teachers have low expectations of girls intellectual skills’ since it is thought that girls are inherently less intelligent than boys” (www.right-to-education.org)The support I give the children should be fair…

Mark Mathabane. Elie Wiesel. Malcolm X. These are all famous people who’ve made their mark on society and confronted discrimination on a daily basis. The University of Washington defines diversity as “differences in social categories like race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, nationality and citizenship, parental status, body size and ability, and age and experience.” I have integrated with a predominantly white school, and have analyzed their many stereotypes regarding African Americans.

According to Andresen (2007), there are three main dimensions of diversity within a person’s personality, which are organizational, external, and internal dimensions. First, organizational dimensions start at the functional level. Second, external dimensions are based from experience. Third, are the internal dimensions, which are based on personal issues (p. 745). An organizational dimension of diversity includes a person’s functional level, field of work, area or department of work; seniority status in the workplace, union affiliation, and management status. In summary, a person’s organizational dimension of diversity is based from their work experience and seniority of their respective career field. The external dimensions of diversity are a person’s geographic location, income, personal habits, leisure activities, religion, knowledge, education, work experience, appearance, parental status, and marital status. This can go further in detail with how an individual person was raised as a child. The internal dimensions of diversity are based from a person’s age, sexual orientation, physical abilities, ethnic group, and race.…
