Acceptance, Respect, and Appreciation of Difference (Spotlight on a Fair and Equal Society)

Approaching others is not always easy, especially for those without a background familiar with differences--differences of race, culture, ability, and more. To operate successfully and in the spirit of social justice, readers need to relate to all people in a spirit of open-mindedness. This can be difficult when we have biases toward others. This guide is modeled on culturally responsive, social, and emotional concepts that encourage interactions between students at school, at home, and in other spaces. By exploring subjects such as the difficult history of racism, readers will learn more about the challenges we all face today.
