Schools with diverse student populations constantly battle myths that these schools are less desirable. The reality is that a diverse school offers opportunities simply not available in homogenous environments. Learning comes alive when wisdom is shared not only by competent teachers and textbooks, but also by fellow students with life experiences and cultures that illuminate whole new worlds. In this program, Eileen provides clear-cut evidence of the strengths of diverse schools and debunks the major myths that undercut these academic goldmines. She provides guidance for identifying the myths in your own community and developing strategies to replace these with accurate information.
