    Study Notes

    Diversity

    • Diversity is like an iceberg, we can see some obvious characteristics of people (above the waterline), others are more hidden (below the waterline)

    ###Assumptions, Prejudices, and Stereotypes

    • A stereotype is a fixed idea about a particular group of people, it can be used to respond to situations quickly
    • Stereotypes can be harmful because they generalise and cause us to ignore individual differences
    • Prejudice can be rooted in factors like sex, age, ethnicity, social status
    • Prejudice can lead to racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia

    Respect for Diversity

    • Six key behaviours that contribute to respect for diversity:
      • Work effectively with people from all backgrounds
      • Treat all people with dignity and respect
      • Treat women and men equally
      • Show respect for diverse viewpoints
      • Examine own biases and behaviours
      • Do not discriminate against any individuals or groups
    • Key areas to be attentive to regarding diversity:
      • Attitudes towards authority and management
      • Body language and gestures
      • Religion, spirituality and faith
      • Family and tribal connections
      • Dress code
      • Concepts of time
      • Communication

    Effective Communication

    • Use common words and avoid slang
    • Make sure you are understanding and being understood
    • Convey interest in understanding properly
    • Allow time for people to speak and create opportunities for those speaking less
    • Be aware of your tone of voice and body language

    Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

    • SEL equips young people and adults with the skills and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, achieve personal and collective goals and make responsible decisions
    • SEL can address various forms of inequity in educational contexts
    • SEL is a systemic, collaborative approach that involves schools, families, and communities

    CASEL-SEL Framework

    • Five broad and interrelated areas of competence:
      • Self-awareness
      • Self-management
      • Social awareness
      • Relationship skills
      • Responsible decision-making

    Cognitive Strategies

    • Disputation involves finding different ways to think about a situation
      • Evidence - What evidence supports your thoughts and feelings?
      • Thinking Errors - Are you thinking irrationally about the situation?
      • Alternatives - Are there other causes for the situation or other perspectives?
      • Implications - Will your reaction help or hinder the situation?
      • Usefulness - Can holding onto this thought cause more harm than good?

    Communication Styles

    • There are three types of communication styles:
      • Passive: I don’t count, so you can take advantage of me. My feelings, needs, and thoughts are less important than yours. I’ll put up with anything.
      • Assertive: This is what I think. This is how I feel. This is how I see the situation. How about you? If our needs conflict, I am certainly ready to explore our differences and I may be prepared to compromise.
      • Aggressive: This is what I think, what I want, and what I feel. What matters to you isn’t important.

    Conflict

    • Conflict is inevitable and can be a positive tool for growth.
    • It can be an expression of hostility, antagonism, or misunderstandings
    • It can occur at school between students, groups of students, teachers, administration and families
