Embrace Diversity

Here’s a terrific video clip that illustrates how we are all different, yet all special in our own way.  This represents all children, all people.  I think it’s an excellent tool for explaining what diversity means.  We can recognize ourselves here, each of us relating to one or more of the animals.  Here’s to teachers who ‘get it’ and help our students realize their potential.   When I need to define what autism means, I think of this clip to help me find the words.

    Brilliant insight into the way that modern culture and education can “pigeon hole” our kids, even with the best of intentions. This mini-film delivers a significant message in a sweet, “Deep Thoughts” kind of format. This is powerful stuff, gently packaged for a BIG audience. Snoop around the rest of the site… and Michelle? thanks for the unique “reminder”. Love and Power to the educators, parents, and people that “Get” this!
    Onward,
