Given the diversity of students in classrooms, this website serves as a valuable resource for teachers who want to learn more about issues related to diversity and to teach their students these important issues as well. The content on this website is not limited in the topics it covers on diversity, many different diversity contexts can be found, such as lessons on ageism, immigration, or rural America, to name a few. Teachers can use this website for three main purposes, to gather resources for teaching students about diversity, to further understand for themselves issues related to teaching in diverse classrooms and schools, and to use the already created lesson plans and activities in their own classroom.
