This unit has a specific focus on celebrating diversity and is designed to give students opportunities to reflect on how they can be inclusive, empathetic, and gain an appreciation for people who are a different race, speak a different language, come from another country and/or have different abilities. I used the Social Justice standards to create this unit. They are a set of anchor standards (which can be found on TeachingTolerance.org) divided into four domains: identity, diversity, justice and action. These standards are designed to make schools more equitable, safe and just. Save over 20% on the Social Justice Diversity Bundle Here are the standards included in this resource: ID.K-2.6 Students will express comfort with people who are both similar to and different from them and engage respectfully with all people. ID.K-2.7 Students will develop language and knowledge to accurately and respectfully describe how people (including themselves) are both similar to and different from each other and others in their identity groups. ID.K-2.8 Students will respectfully express curiosity about the history and lived experiences of others and will exchange ideas and beliefs in an open-minded way. ID.K-2.9 Students will respond to diversity by building empathy, respect, understanding and connection. ID.K-2.10 Students will examine diversity in social, cultural, political and historical contexts rather than in ways that are superficial or oversimplified.
