ACT
The Diversity Center is now in its fourth year of the exciting and engaging program, ACT--Action and Awareness for Change Teams. The Diversity Center is excited to offer this program that not only empowers students with the skills and resources to serve as positive change agents for inclusion, but strengthens their proficiencies around schools' core curriculum guidelines.
The video above shows several students at Fairview High School in Fairview Park, OH who gained the language and confidence to talk about diversity at their school through The Diversity Center's ACT program.
The goal of the ACT Program is to provide concentrated services to 10 middle schools and 10 high schools during the year. The program includes:
-
Monthly meetings with each ACT group providing curriculum lessons around diversity issues. Topics will include issues relevant to The Diversity Center's mission -- race, age, gender, socio-economic, and ability
-
Curriculum lessons relevant to the Ohio Curriculum Standards
-
School participation in the scheduled retreats and conferences
-
Resources and teaching materials on The Diversity Center website
