Diversity in the 21st Century
America’s demographics are changing rapidly. One of the most striking trends is the rise of self-identified mixed heritage or multiracial people, the majority of whom are children. How can schools, teachers and communities create truly inclusive environments?

Teaching Diversity
Due to state education standards, often times, topics like diversity and multiculturalism are overlooked in the curriculum, or are not presented in an engaging way. This presentation provides specific tools and curriculum ideas to help educators incorporate diversity in the classroom, while meeting state standards.

Korea and Multiculturalism
South Korea has one of the world’s most aging populations. At the same time, it is estimated that by 2020 1.6 million children will be multiethnic. The demographic is reflecting a growing multicultural society. How is South Korea re-evaluating their “pure blood” national identity and what does this mean for a country most highly regarded for educating its youth?
