THE RESPECTING DIVERSITY (RD) PROGRAM
The RD program is designed to build an inclusive learning community. The activities in the program help students develop a positive self-concept and respect for others, reduce challenging behavior, and create learning teams that support diverse learners.
Student Voice
"It feels like I am learning the inside of my body, like I’m learning beyond, what can my future be. I am glad and happy.
What is inside...I can let it out." - M, Grade 4.

Teacher Voice
"The role of SEL in my classroom completely changed some of my students reactions to the classroom… risk-taking is at an all time high and new, perhaps unlikely friendships have occurred. I think it is almost magical to watch some students, who have always been very shy, quiet, or “weak” come out of their shells and blossom into class leaders."
