This week let’s talk about

Diversity and Inclusion

3 of 30

Diversity means differences.

People may be different in many ways, including race or ethnicity, age, disabilities, language, culture, appearance, or religion.

Counselor Activity:

What kind of world do you think it would be?

Is it a world you would want to live in? Why or why not?

What does Diversity mean to you?

What if everyone in the world was exactly the same? If they all

looked the same, talked the same, shared the same views, traditions, activities and beliefs.

4 of 30

Celebrate Diversity, Be Inclusive

Check out these examples of being inclusive:

  • Inviting someone who might be left out to work with you on a class project or activity
  • Offering help and support to someone who is new to school or a community you are in
  • Taking the time to hear another person’s story, truly listening to their experience and asking questions to learn more

Challenge yourself to be more inclusive, try one of these ideas or your own today!

Being inclusive not only recognizes and celebrates diversity, it also embraces it and puts it into action.

Tutoring

The SUNY Geneseo School of Education and Office of Field Experiences is reaching out to provide the opportunity for students to engage in a virtual tutoring program for students in Kindergarten to 8th grade. This is the third year that this program has been run, and it is intended to provide students with additional instruction to close some gaps that exist from remote instruction as well as provide overall academic support. The tutoring services are run remotely via Zoom, free of charge, by volunteer teacher candidates from SUNY Geneseo. Please share the attached flyer and linked Google Form sign-up with families. There are a limited number of seats available and spots will be filled on a first come first served basis. We would like to extend the opportunity to your students to participate, and we hope that we can provide additional support to students within your district.
