Welcome to DiversityPlus where we strive to guide teachers and assist their development of skills that support student diversity in primary schools. With a strong focus on SEX/GENDER, ABILITY/DISABILITY and ETHNICITY/RACE, DiversityPlus aims to help teachers understand the issues surrounding these topics, how they are are interrelated and the implications they have for teachers and students. Our site provides knowledge and resources for both entrant and experiences teachers.
This organisation and webpage are created by university pre-service teachers for an assessment. This site should only be used as a guide, and is not a reliable source of information. Thank you for your understanding.
