Diverse Classroom

Australian classrooms are wonderfully diverse in our composition of students, reflecting an ever-increasing range of cultures, languages, backgrounds, experiences, mental and physical abilities, neurotypes, gender identities and more. As an example, English as a Second Language or Dialect (EAL/D) learners make up nearly 25% of the student population across Australian schools. The resources below provide a good starting point for embracing a diverse classroom, but are by no means exhaustive. We recommend you see our ‘other resources’ post for further reading, references and resources.
