culture......physical ability......skin colour......appearance......voice......

look......background......origin......opinion

Who is the Kit for?

The Appreciating Diversity Kit is designed for School teachers who identify the importance of building the qualities of tolerance, respect and acceptance of people from a range of different backgrounds and abilities in order for the school and communities to thrive and live in harmony.  This highly relevant and interactive program teaches tolerance, acceptance, openness and appreciation of difference to help students develop an understanding of the benefits that diversity provides to your school and your community.  The Kit is a dynamic series of learning programs that gives teachers everything they need to immediately deliver comprehensive and effective programs that promote skill development and understanding within student groups.

The great thing is that Appreciating Diversity comes in TWO versions depending on the age group of your students.  You don't have to worry about whether the content is suitable to your particular group's age, because we've done all of that for you by customising two separate versions - to suit both younger and older audiences.

The two versions are:

Version 1: Primary School / Junior Students - students aged between 9 years of age to 13 years of age

 

Version 2: High School / Senior Students - students aged between 14 years of age to 18 years of age

If you're wanting to include students from across a range of years, you may wish to consider buying both versions for your school.  That way you're ready to deliver the programs to both groups without delay.

Appreciating Diversity is a particularly effective resource for elected school leadership teams as they need to lead by example, but why not give all your students these valuable skills and deliver the programs to all your students year-after-year.

What’s in the Kit?

Appreciating Diversity is such a valuable and necessary resource for EVERY school

With more than 140 pages of program materials and resources, both the senior and junior versions of Appreciating Diversity contain everything you need:

●  4 Extensive Learning Programs

●  Comprehensive Program Notes - any staff member can pick this kit up and deliver comprehensive and dynamic  lessons, and sound like an expert immediately.

●  Learning Outcomes for each program - we're educators and know the importance of having clearly defined outcomes for every program, so we have written them for you.  As a result there is no guess work trying to work out what you're hoping to achieve.  It's all provided.

●  Detailed Scripts - that's right, every program is completely scripted so that even the uninitiated or least    experienced staff member can be confident in knowing they are delivering absolutely everything necessary to develop the leadership capability of your students.  Of course the scripts don't have to be used, however we know how some teachers like the support that scripting can give them when delivering something for the first time. 

●  Probing Questions and Answers - at the appropriate time in every program, questions are provided for the       teacher to ask the group to ensure the lesson is interactive and has the group involved.  The ideal answers are also provided to ensure the teacher facilitates the discussion in the right way, so that the learning outcomes for the program are achieved. As a result, nothing is left to chance. 

●  Directions on how to get the most out of each program - at the start of and throughout every program, there are comprehensive notes to guide the teacher on how to maximise the benefit of every program.  These instructions ensure the program is effective and the impact lasting. 

●  Group and Individual Activities - an extensive range of activities are provided to ensure that every person attending the lessons play an active role and learn through participation.  Full instructions are given on how to set up each activity.  Scripts to introduce activities to the group are provided along with clear instructions on how to facilitate activities and their timings.  Critical points to debrief each activity are included to ensure the key learnings are taken away by every person.

●  Preparation Checklist – enables you to quickly and easily ensure that you have everything you need to conduct each lesson before you start.

Program Overviews

Appreciating Diversity is a complete package of materials that teachers can start using immediately

The Kit consists of 4 programs you can deliver just to all your students years-after-year.  

This is what you will receive when you purchase Appreciating Diversity

PROGRAM 1: Defining Difference and Diversity

This program is designed to assist students to define the term diversity by developing an understanding of a range of differences among people, as well as to highlight the importance of respecting and valuing these differences. Difference exists at many levels. Some differences are physically apparent and easily observable, while other differences are not so easy to perceive. It is vital that students identify and appreciate the range of differences that exist among people, and to develop a respect and appreciation for these differences to help create better communities for the future.

PROGRAM 2: Diversity and the Law

This program is designed to assist students in identifying the role of the legal system in Australia to prevent discrimination and harassment.  It is vital that participants recognise the ways in which unlawful discrimination can and does occur in society and the importance of having laws to try to prevent it legally. By doing so, participants will be in a better position to avoid discriminating against others, as well as more aware of action that needs to be taken to prevent it or stop it when it is witnessed, so as to create a fairer and more equitable society.

PROGRAM 3: The Contribution of Diversity

This program is designed to assist students in identifying the contribution a diverse community can make to the well-being and prosperity of a country and its citizens.  For discrimination and harassment to be stopped, the population needs to acknowledge that a diverse population is necessary for the community to grow, develop and advance in the future. Substantial evidence has been found to demonstrate the impact a diverse population can have on a community economically, culturally and educationally.  Once people recognise this contribution, they will be better able to appreciate the importance of diversity and therefore act to protect and encourage it.

PROGRAM 4: Tools for Embracing Diversity

This program is designed to assist your school in the promotion of diversity to ensure it is encouraged and appreciated.  This program provides ideas and resources in the form of a series of tools for use in the development of strategies for promoting and appreciating diversity as well as communicating to stakeholder groups.  The tools are presented in the form of action sheets that can be delegated and distributed to people responsible for implementing each communication strategy.
