Lesson Plan

Appreciating Differences

Students will collaboratively establish group norms, define diversity, and share personal experiences to foster empathy and lay the groundwork for appreciating differences.

Creating a respectful and inclusive environment from the first session helps students feel valued and heard. Introducing norms and the concept of diversity builds empathy and primes students for deeper exploration in later weeks.
