Basic Schools Meeting: September 8, 210




Diversity


Miles’s preferred focuses for committee: Cultural competency in curriculum, honoring of minorities, disenfranchised students.


Our Question: How can we include those who are differently-abled into our diversity awareness for the school?


• Provide titles of fiction and non-fiction books featuring students with special needs


• Make use of class meeting time to bring awareness and respect


• Change our wording from “ADHD kids to kids with ADHD” ect.


• March 3rd – Spread the Word to End the Word (retard) – Special Olympics






Heritage Night Prep.:


• Diversity Bulletin board - Kulwinder will orchestrate its revival.


• Flags – Display at Heritage Night.


• Art Work – Ask a grade level a month to share art /project from around the world. Prevents rush at end and allows for the art to be appreciated by more students for longer period of time.


• Second Grade – October, Third grade – December. Ask first if they would be willing to take November…
