INTRODUCTIONEquality and diversity is a part of multiculturalism which involves the idea of acceptingand promoting differences among people. In more accurate way, equality is to ensure fair andequal treatment for all individuals without considering their age, gender, religion, disability orrace. When all these differences are recognised and respected, this is termed as diversity. Mainaim behind promoting diversity is develop an all-inclusive environment. This present report isbased on The King's School which is Britain based coeducational public school, situated inCanterbury, Kent (Armstrong, Masterton and Potts, 2013). It is considered as oldest schoolwhich is continually operating since 597 AD. This assignment includes the merits of diversityand equality in creating safe and enabling learning atmosphere along with strategies to achievethem. Also, ways to promote equality in school and society are discussed in detail which willhelps in maintaining a healthy and harmonious living environment. TASK 2A) Reflection on the ways in which equality and diversity results in safe and enabling learningatmosphereBoth equality and diversity aims in promoting and accepting various differences amongindividuals from different background. In today's scenario, incorporating diversity and equalityin society is not an easy task. Every activity carried out by people is linked with their gender,religion,caste and ethnicity etc. motive of equality is to provide equal opportunities to everyindividual irrespective of their living standard. Diversity promotes rights which are available toevery individual. As a teacher of The King's School, it is my duty to incorporate characteristicsof equality and diversity within school which benefits in maintaining safe learning environment.To promote these aspects it is very important to for me to treat all students and staff by fairmeans (Banks, 2014). It is my duty to provide equal opportunities to all students so that they canenhance their knowledge level and enjoy benefits which enables safe learning environment forstudents. I should formulate rules and regulations which challenges discrimination and inequalitywhich helps students to coordinate with each other in a better way. Also, I need to avoidstereotypes while giving some example or using some resources which will enhance theirknowledge level about different culture and religion. It is my responsibility to consider the needsof students that belong to different and diverse groups. This will generate a sense of

inclusiveness in the minds of student which helps them to learn and understand new conceptsand aspects everyday. This all aspects can provide a student safe and enabling learningatmosphere in an appropriate way. B) Five action or strategies that helps in achieving promoting equality and diversity in schoolsUK is becoming more diverse by each passing day. Population of students in school isshifting toward diversity and the teacher's population is mainly consists of white and female. It isvery important to promote diversity, equality and inclusiveness in schools so that children canunderstand different people and their preselective in a better way (Banks, 2015). In case of TheKing's School, I can implement five strategies can helps in promoting above mentioned aspects:Self-awareness: Encouraging diversity and equity began with self-awareness. Whileteaching there, I need to consider the impact on students which generates due tointersection of different race, gender, living status and sexual orientation. I needs to listenexperiences actively which are faced by students from marginalised section. This willhelp in maintaining all inclusive environment. Class norms: Setting norms that supports openness and inclusion is also a good way topromote diversity within school. I should teach students to respect each other's point ofview and preferences. Even if students of The King's School disagree on some aspects,they must know the way to deny opinions respectfully. Cultural relevant teaching: It is also known as responsive teaching in which I shouldemphasize on cultural, social and political competence. In this, students of The King'sSchool are given deep knowledge regarding diverse cultures which helps them tounderstand different people in a meaningful way (Castagno, 2014). Purposeful planning: Having direct conversations regarding equity and diversity canmake children and teachers uncomfortable. I needs to introduce proper planning whichinvolves teaching sessions along with several example and resources that will make iteasy for students in understanding the purpose.Community involvement: Parents and family members can be invited in class ascommunity experts. As they have wealth of knowledge regarding their culture, sharingtheir stories with students can helps a lot. Also, to promote diversity and equality I caninvite people from diverse religions and race can be as guest speakers.
