Why is Understanding Diversity in Physical Education Important...

Diversity is everywhere, especially in our schools and in our classes. It is important to consider and understand diversity so we know our student's backgrounds, where they come from, their culture beliefs, and their values. Students are all so different and diverse, so in order to have a physical education class that is inclusive to all students and their needs, diversity must be prevalent. 

Other reasons to consider diversity in our PE classes is to help with a positive environment where students are respectful, considerate and understanding of all students ability levels, religious beliefs, SES, cultural beliefs and so on. Also just to help with students awareness of the fact that people are different, and that we can all still get a long. Finally, for me as a teacher, it's important to help me grow and continue to learn myself and find new ways of doing things.
