This article is limited to characterizing the history of diversity education in the United States. A history of diversity education in other countries and continents will follow in future issues.

Diversity Training and education in the United States

Many organizations, communities, military sectors, and higher education institutions have been conducting some form of diversity education since the 1960s in the United States. Many organizations now assume that diversity education can boost productivity and innovation in an increasingly diverse work environment. The military employed encounter groups in what is perhaps the largest scale diversity education experiment ever conducted. Confronting white Americans who made excuses for, or denied their racism, was common in this diversity training approach.

While gender diversity education began to emerge during the 1970s and 1980s, diversity education in the United States expanded in the 1990s to focus on barriers to inclusion for other identity groups. This perspective has become the most widely used approach today in diversity education.

The current focus on white privilege training in one sector of diversity work maintains a place for racism in diversity education.

While white privilege, multiculturalism, and racism work are each very important, diversity professionals must keep in mind that organizations vary in diversity education needs.

Discussions about gender differences, sexual orientation, Native American identity, Latino empowerment, white privilege, etc. provide a rich context for understanding the complexity of American diversity. Religious diversity accompanies globalism, which is also included in modern diversity education.

It is likely that this complexity of identity group needs prompted diversity professionals like Judith Katz to focus on promoting inclusive organizations.

Another recent change is the emphasis on diversity education, rather than diversity training. From the author’s perspective, the term diversity education both broadens the view of what diversity programs within organizations are about and manages the often negative connotation diversity training activates. Perhaps more important is that the term allows us to distinguish between diversity training and other programmatic activities among diversity practices.

Diversity Pioneers

An in-house diversity professional is responsible for leading a diversity initiative within an organization. Some have the title chief diversity officer or vice president of diversity, while others are considered diversity coordinators or steering committee chairs.

Diversity pioneers laid the foundation for the emergence of today’s diversity leaders. The in-house professionals are activists for diversity, inclusion and fairness.

Here is a list of diversity pioneers in the United States:

The list is based on data collected a couple of years ago by Diversity Training University International students.

Few diversity pioneers had specialized training when starting out in the business. Judith began her diversity profession by focusing on racism from a white American perspective. Some organizations utilized diversity training to safeguard against civil rights suits during this period of time.

“The major change is that diversity is now accepted as a key business driver, rather than diversity for diversity’s sake.” According to Judith, “for some folks diversity was about compliance (the concern about law suits) for others it was about increasing individual diversity awareness.

Judith is concerned about the challenges that continue to face diversity professionals as well as chief diversity officers.

o As a result, diversity leaders too often shoulder the full weight of the diversity initiative.

Linking bonuses and merit pay to clear diversity and inclusion metrics is seldom given serious consideration in even the top fifty diversity companies.

Thanks to Judith, diversity consultants and trainers have a role model.

Valuing Diversity

Valuing diversity is a term that’s used quite a bit these days in making a case for diversity and inclusion-Thanks to Lewis Griggs.

Lewis is a European American who came to diversity work through his own individual growth experiences.

The higher education sector started offering diversity courses in the general education curricula during the 1980s. Stanford University and the California State University at Fullerton, for example, dared to offer mandatory cultural diversity courses to fulfill general education requirements.

Diversity Pioneers In The History Of Diversity Education

Traditionally, ethnic minority groups often face serious problems and Vietnamese Americans are not an exception. Not surprisingly, that Vietnamese Americans were less likely to have a college education or a professional education than whites . Moreover, their poor social status also contributed to the negative attitude to Vietnamese Americans from the part of other students and lower self esteem of children representing this ethnic group compared to white and black Americans.

Finally, they Vietnamese Americans faced a very serious problem of racism that was really disturbing. For instance, there are practically no serious language problems and Vietnamese American children are practically in the equal position compared to other ethnic groups.

While Aspira was intended to represent non-English-speaking Puerto Rican and other Latino students, students from other ethnic and linguistic minority groups also benefited from the provisions of the consent decree, because the Lau compliance plan mirrored the consent decree’s key elements.

The absence of non-Latino ELL plaintiffs has led many to see the issue of bilingual education in New York City primarily as a concern of the Puerto Rican community and other emerging Latino groups.

Transitional Bilingual Education and Representing Non-English Speakers

Fortunately, today, more and more secondary schools in Donegal are offering what are frequently referred to as “continuing education” courses. Obviously, educating an adult is different from educating the average teenage high school student, as an adult has already amassed a lot of knowledge and experience outside of the academe. Fortunately, continuing education courses are conducted with this fact in mind.

More and more colleges are also offering similar courses for older students. You can now opt to take an online course.

According Ediger (2000), elementary school career education is important. Students have limited knowledge and exposure to careers. The Basics for Elementary School Career Education ProgramsIn career awareness programs, students do not make premature career choices. Elementary school career education is not career exploration or career preparation. Elementary students remain open to new career ideas and possibilities. (2,15) Elementary school counselors and teachers build self-awareness, family awareness, school awareness, community awareness, career/ work awareness, attitude development, skill development, decision making strategies, and self-worth. (2,4,11) As elementary students get older, the students modify career visions and goals. After completing an elementary school career awareness program, students have higher grades, higher academic achievement, improved school involvement, as well as an increase in career awareness exploration, personal, and interpersonal skills. Students use the Individual Career Plans as they identify and explore initial career goals and educational plans.
