Definition

  • Diversity usually refers to the presence of individuals who possess differences in one or more defining characteristics, including culture, ethnicity, language, race, and social class. Many educational settings are marked by the absence of differences in instructional personnel, which makes it more difficult to address the needs of an increasingly diverse student body.
