Diversity in Education
Overview
Diversity is a subject not easily defined for study. We can point to perceived differences between people and cultures; however, that is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg, ignoring the effects of those differences in a given context. Additionally, such a focus often carries with it a sense of value-comparison and judgment in favor of one side versus the other.

In the context of the field of education, the effects of diversity on individuals and the environment are almost impossible to ignore. The challenges of adopting a broad view of difference and creating an equitable learning experience for students across the board are many, and not easily met.

However, the professional literature of the field is a rich resource of tools, research, and practical experience and application. For this assignment, you will review the literature related to diversity in the context of your particular focus and specialization, and choose one main diversity concern in the literature review section of your paper and include two additional diversity issues you may encounter for your literature review.

We may consider differences across many criteria, including, but certainly not limited, to the following:

Ethnicity.
Ethnic identity.
Gender.
Gender identity.
Culture.
Ability and disability.
Developmental criteria.
Age and generation.
