Diversity

By Steven Caldwell

~ a digital story for educators ~

Some things look the same when they are arranged together.

But are they all the same?

Some things make large beautiful shapes when they are grouped together...

But...

...each

and

polish

stone

is

uniquewith its own

bumps

Some leaves grow fast towards the light.

Some rest in shadows for a time.

Don't they?

All things grow at their own pace.

Some things are easy to stack and

bend and fold and shape.

That's true,

isn't it?

Some things cannot be shaped.

They make their own shapes in their own way.

Just like water, some things need to flow.

Because water flows, right?

Some go the opposite way that you might think they

will.

Some things grow down.

Yet innovative teachers sit in straight rows all together.

We must all listen and follow along. Keep up with what the teacher says!

I don't learn this way.

Sometimes we need to remember diversity.

Some things look the same, but aren't.

Some grow and flow in their own way.

Some learn by doing, not listening.

Are you prepared to...

Teach Differently?
