Celebrating Schools That Practice Inclusivity and Diversity

Content: There are two main issues that arise when talking about inclusivity: a feeling of belonging and stereotype threat. When students have a feeling of belonging within the classroom or in the educational institution as a whole, they’re less likely to struggle with coursework and campus life. Creating a sense of belonging helps students to integrate into the educational institution and aids them in achieving their educational goals. Stereotype threat, on the other hand, is the fear of confirming a negative stereotype about one’s own in-group, especially when the student strongly identifies with that group. This can significantly impact the focus and performance of students and create other cognitive obstacles. Students from less privileged socioeconomic statuses, women in math and science classes, members of the LGBT community, and students of other backgrounds are at risk of suffering from stereotype threat. By promoting inclusivity and diversity in the classroom, teachers can significantly lower the instances of these barriers to learning. How to Promote Inclusivity in Your Classroom
