Introduction
The project is about the importance of having inclusivity and diversity in the classroom
or school. Creating an inclusive school with students from diverse backgrounds is a resource
aimed at motivating school communities to create, promote and sustain inclusive schools
throughout the United States. It is meant to aid nurture the establishment of inclusive and rich
educational framework that respects and values diversity, ensure every student gets a quality
education and promote belonging for all students in a shared learning environment. Schools
should rethink on their how they approach education with the understanding that every student
has equal value, belong in all curricular activities and proper teaching ways respects every
student (Hodge et al 45). For quality inclusive and diversity in education, every student should
be treated with respect and dignity, taking account of the learning style of every student, having a
high realistic expectation for every student and developing suitable learning goals that are related
For students to be entirely integrated into becoming successful in life and school, they
want opportunities to use appropriate behaviors in achieving personal needs, develop positive
social-emotional skills and acquire and use skills and knowledge. The rationale for these
‘functional outcome’ regions is that students need to acquire the rudimentary skills, behaviors
and knowledge that is required to think critically, develop social competence and solve problems

as well as have independence in their daily lives (Hodge et al 56). For most of the people, it
might appear that normally developing students to have these functional skills effortlessly.

Many factors play into diversity in a class setting. Economic background, gender, religion
and even learning approaches are outstanding aspects and it is important to remember everyone
when promoting diversity in schools. While there exist clear important benefits that are
associated with diversity and inclusion, the outcome of the learner is dependent on the ways

Diversity among the students in class directly affects their performance. Studies have shown that
students perform better in a diverse atmosphere, making them concentrate and push even further
when other people from different background are working alongside them. It, therefore, results in
creativity and also better education since those students with different perspectives are work
A study conducted in the educational system of the United States shows that students are
increasingly diverse and it is reflected in the fields of mathematics, engineering, technology and
races, genders, cultures and speaks different languages. For example, there was a 5% increase in
diversity across secondary and primary schools (Clark & Horsford 89). Diversity exists in the
socioeconomic composition of the learners with nearly half of the fourth graders in public
schools becoming eligible for free lunch programs. Diversity in higher education is also
increasing with a greater number of women than men seeking admissions in and graduating from
universities. In the last three decades, there has been an increase in ethnic and racial minority
student in the education system (Tharp 85). The ethnic and racial minorities who are studying at
institutions of higher learning in the US will continue to increase because the demographic
composition of the population keeps on changing. Even though the education system is
becoming more diverse, students originating from stigmatized groups still experience barriers to
education. Integration is a required but insufficient condition for realizing equality and fairness
for every student. Although schools may have students from diverse backgrounds, if some
students experience barriers and are not included in the school, an actual situation of diversity
might not exist (Siegel et al, 101). Thus, there will be no any benefit obtained from inclusion and
According to Intxausti et al, (16), there are research-tested strategies put in place to
achieve the goal of greater diversity. These strategies include retaining and recruiting diverse
educators, creating a safe environment for every learner, integrating inclusive learning activities
that are active into a curriculum, integrating information that represents various cultural and
social viewpoints into a curriculum and promoting outreach programs to minority families and
their students. Developing a more inclusive and diverse classroom/school has numerous benefits
that range from enhancing learning among the students to improving social interactions between
In another study conducted by Mertens (11), he argues that supports of students are
recognized and provided to improve academic and social involvement in universal education
classroom and in other broad situations. Contextually well-fit and culturally responsive supports
enable the students to have a sense of interdependence and equity. The supports enable to benefit
from general education curriculum activities. The responsibilities and roles of every school staff
reflect the service and support that enable every learner to partake in and benefit from the general
education curriculum. Research shows that when the students from diverse backgrounds engage
Hodge et al, (51), the population is constantly changing and more diversity is expected.
Therefore, it is crucial to research, identify and know approaches to optimally and successfully
Enrolling a child in a school with a diverse student background can aid in preparing the
child the kid for citizenship in a multiethnic democracy. Public schools in the US are becoming
more ethnically and culturally diverse country with time. As a result, there is an increase in
demand to look for the most effective approaches in helping every student succeed academically

and learn to cooperate well with others. Schools should come up with a proactive approach to
promote diversity. In order to create a positive atmosphere in a classroom where teachers and
students respect the various backgrounds, schools need to be proactive (Intxausti et al 23). The
planned classroom activities can highlight diversity. Educators need to structure their teaching so
as to recognize the various viewpoints. Therefore, there is a richness that is created when
students are working together with others who are from different backgrounds.
One of the greatest problems in implementing inclusion and diversity is ensuring the
feeling towards the diversity initiative. It is important to incorporate accountability for teachers
and to do so, diversity should be properly examined. A crucial part of this is to come up with
clear goals concerning a particular program. Establishing both short and long-term goals aid in
determining the effectiveness of diversity and inclusion in class. Also, diversity and inclusion
initiatives should be examined by tracking the student for some time. Therefore, the levels of
domain, a pursuit of a field, interest in the domain, increase in knowledge and academic
performance should be examined first at a starting point and then tracked longitudinally for some
time. If diversity and inclusion initiatives in class are truly effective, teachers should be capable
of identifying when learners from stigmatized societies are no longer interested in fields and
