What is diversity? Diversity is described as the state of being diverse or a range of
different things (n.d). When thinking on diversity and its definition I often wonder how diverse
the world is and how does diversity affect the way we interact with one another. How do we
identify diverse group within our communities and what makes these groups diverse are often
question I have reflected on? When examining my own community setting and the diverse
population in the area I have to exam my own belief of what I consider diverse. I live in a
melting pot of different cultures where Spanish and Creole are spoken frequently and fluently,
however, there are many different s of Spanish and Creole dialects. Reflecting on diversity and
learning with the population, strengths and area of improvement I have to examine what I know
about the diverse groups within my community.
In order to determine the population in detail I observed my local school setting to see the
population of students and came to the conclusion that my community was predominantly
Hispanic. Based on an article from the Miami Herald majority of the schools in Miami Dade
County Florida shows the rise of Hispanics within the schools in Miami-Dade County. Walden
University Diversity Proficiencies show professional qualities needed for teacher with diverse
students. In relating those proficiencies, the components of importance include: awareness of
self, understanding the learner, a good learning environment, planning, instruction and
assessment, and professional practice (RWRCOEL). In order to identify the diversity within my
community I had to make sure that I could follow the diversity proficiencies. I understand that in
order to demonstrate strength as an educator I needed to be more self-aware. To understand the
diverse needs of the student to be able to evaluate them I must identify differences in learning,
performance, and how to facilitate lessons. I try to implement the RWRCOEL Diversity
