LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Distinguish between the meaning of diversity, equity,
and inclusion.
2. Identify different cultural groups how they correspond to
your cultural identity.
3. Understand the components of cultural competence and
how they apply to an individual’s and an institution’s
cultural identity
4. The meaning of operating with a Growth Mindset
GROUND RULESYour contribution to this discussion is greatly valued. In order to maximize the time we have together we will utilize the tools established in Everyday Democracy: Ideas & Tools for Community Change www.everyday-democracy.org
1. Listen and treat one another with respect.
2. Each person gets a chance to talk.
3. One person speaks at a time. Do not cut people off.
4. Speak for yourself, not as the representative of any group.
Remember that others are speaking for themselves, too.
.
GROUND RULES5. If something that someone says hurts or bothers you, say so, and say why.
6. It is OK to disagree but be sure to show respect for one another.
7. Help the facilitator keep things on track.
8. Some of the things we will say in the dialogue will be private (personal). We will not tell these stories to other people, unless we all agree that it is okay.

My Professional Definition for Diversity
Diversity: Individual differences (e.g., personality,
learning styles, and life experiences) and group/social
differences (e.g., race/ethnicity, class, gender, sexual
orientation, country of origin, and ability as well as
cultural, political, religious, or other affiliations).
(Association of American Colleges & Universities, 2016)
My Professional Definition for Diversity
Group and social differences (cultural groups) are
manifested in various forms among our administration,
faculty, staff, and students including but not limited to:
differences of gender, sex, race, ethnicity, religion,
age, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity,
gender expression, language, work classification,
military service, socio-economic status, and ability.

programs that are capable of closing the achievement gaps in

What is Inclusion?
Inclusion is involvement and empowerment, where
the inherent worth and dignity of all people are
recognized. An inclusive university promotes and
sustains a sense of belonging; it values and
practices respect for the talents, beliefs,
backgrounds, and ways of living of its members.

CULTURAL COMPETENCE
Cultural competence is having an awareness of one’s own cultural identity and views about difference, and the ability to learn and build on the varying cultural and community norms of students and their families.
It is the ability to understand the within-group differences that make each student unique, while celebrating the between-group variations that make our country a tapestry. This understanding informs and expands teaching practices in the culturally competent educator’s classroom.
