Recap

Now that this course is nearly at an end, I have to admit that it was a useful class on the whole. The material exposed us to a wide variety of diversity issues that I otherwise would not have taken the time to stop and critically think upon, such as the extent of diversity within large groupings, such as the diversity within "Asian" americans.

After covering gender, sexuality, racial, and bullying issues, it is apparent that as teachers we need to be hyper aware of the different diversity elements at play in a situation. Without taking this course, I don't think that many of these would really be at the forefront of our thought processes when presented with them.

On top of that, it was a great experience to be able to read through the thoughts and opinions of my colleagues on many of these topics as well through this blog style format. Especially in diversity issues it is incredibly useful to have more than one viewpoint on a subject, especially when the viewpoints contradict your own. 

I enjoyed this class and the topics that it covered, the lessons will be very useful in the future.
