Lessons in Diversity
This past week, our students, faculty, staff, and parents were treated to separate, thoughtful, and instructive presentations by Derrick Gay, educational consultant (derrickgayconsultant@gmail.com). He was so good. I know we'll be seeing more and more of him in our schools.
He concluded his talk with parents by showing the profound TED Talk by Chimamanda Adichie "The Danger of a Single Story."
Dane, I have watched this video so many times since it first came out. Whenever I need to reconnect myself with the work, Adichie does it for me. Perfectly worded and delivered. Thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteHello Dane,
ReplyDeleteI think it is awesome that you are so passionate about diversity. Diversity is a welcomed topic now days, however, it is something that must be learned. All behaviors are learned/taught and so is accepting others.
