Kojo Roadshow Preview: How ‘Classroom Diversity’ Becomes Actual Practice

If a classroom is a microcosm of society at large, who leads it and which students are enrolled are hugely influential.

But classroom diversity is not always easily achieved. Although schools have technically been integrated for decades, deeply entrenched barriers and biases can lead to segregation along the lines of race, socioeconomic status and perceived needs and abilities.

Before we explore larger issues of school diversity at our upcoming Kojo Roadshow in Silver Spring, we examine diversity in the classroom with current and former educators and students.
