Diversity Task Force
The AWSP Diversity Task Force is an advisory team
of practicing principals and assistant principals from around the state
of Washington. AWSP revised its five-year strategic plan in 2005 and
2010 to include a specific goal about diversity and cultural
competence (Goal 4). One target objective of this goal was to create a
diversity team to explore what exists and create recommendations for the
Association. The team first met in 2006 and continues to meet at various
times throughout the school year.
The Task Force’s mission is based upon the objectives of the
Strategic Plan, Goal 4:
-
Provide professional development focused on cultural competence to
help members lead and foster a learning environment in their schools in
order to increase achievement in each student.
-
Research and identify examples of best practices to help members meet
the needs and challenges of diverse students.
-
Assist and support members in embedding cultural competence in their
daily work to strengthen student learning.

If you are looking for an activity to understand and discuss
stereotyping and how all of us carry stereotypes, view the
YouTube video SILENT BEATS. Ask viewers to list all the stereotypes
they witness in the video and then discuss why stereotypes limit
us.
