Abstract

The chapter discusses the differences between diversity and inclusion. Schools should focus on the needs of their students in order to promote diversity and inclusion. It suggests three inspirational school districts that can be used in the classroom. Cooperative group teaching versus universal design principles are debated, along with the definition of the characteristics of a diverse and inclusive educational background. Examples, also, from the local educational setting are given as these concepts are examined. The author addresses some related issues, such as how to accommodate students' various needs in a multicultural environment, what methods should be employed to increase student engagement and curriculum comprehension, and what possible advantages might be using assistive and adaptive technologies in the classroom have. The chapter concludes with a reflection on the use of inclusive and diverse settings, and it also includes additional relevant and helpful topics in the discussion at large.
