In previous weeks, we explored the importance of empathy, which can be understood as searching for our similarities in order to better understand the perspective of others. This week, we are exploring diversity, which can be understood as recognizing our differences as strengths. How do you help your students to recognize their own unique perspectives and strengths, and how do you communicate to them that those differences are valued in your school or classroom? How can this work in turn improve STEM experiences for all of our students?
Interact: On Monday, read your colleagues' reflections and respond to at least one other post by sharing a comment, insight, or interesting possibility by next Thursday.
