1.2/5/2008 1:56:00 AMI think we have made great gains in this area. I think we still have work to do, but the district should give itself credit.
2.2/5/2008 3:48:00 AMThis includes all types of diversity, social, economical, cultural.
3.2/5/2008 4:11:00 AMTeachers provide diverse instruction, we are lacking in the area of having a translator available for parent communications at each building. We can not build community with diverse families if the lines of communication stop from teacher to child. We need to get the parents on board and active!
4.2/5/2008 7:02:00 PMHire minority teachers when possible.
5.2/5/2008 7:20:00 PMTime is needed for this, it is impartive know in our schools but I am afraid we are not being provided with the flexibility at the Elementary level to meet this need. To much to teach, 1 period to plan, and no time to work on social, emotional growth.
6.2/5/2008 8:44:00 PMWith continued inservice for INSTRUCTION and support for the differing population. Also more thought about poverty as a diversity group.
7.2/5/2008 9:58:00 PMAgain, we need student time to do this, 10 minutes twice a week, or 15 minutes once per week does not work.
8.2/12/2008 10:07:00 PMOur ELL community is growing and we need to support students and parents.
9.2/11/2008 6:16:00 PMWe need to establish parent participation, increased knowledge about parenting and following school and community rules, respect and honor.
10.3/4/2008 2:50:00 PMThe diversity survey indicated an interest in bully prevention and intervention. This is an issue which we could do more on in our schools.
