Topics

Diversity in the Classroom:
As classrooms become more diverse, it is important for schools to become more inclusive and for educators to become more culturally competent. One of the many challenges is how to meet the many demands of different groups and individuals yet maintain standards. School boards must create environments that are enriching not only for students but for staff and families.
They must ultimately consider how the "client experience."
Diversity: Running on All Cylinders
Diversity is a journey, not a race. The journey will encounter the odd pothole along the way but to be successful, organizations will need a muscle car to reach their goal of creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. A unique framework called the Six Cylinders™ helps managers to diagnose their organizations and to take effective actions that will move them forward on their diversity journey.

Reference:

"Using humour, personal anecdotes and sound-bytes of relevant data, Hamlin quickly disarmed the crowd of any preconceptions we may have had on the subject of diversity. He then proceeded to effectively present diversity as a challenge, that when embraced, offers a wealth of opportunity within communities, marketplaces and even, service clubs. The response to Hamlin's presentation was overwhelmingly enthusiastic." Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise
