This document discusses key concepts around sociocultural diversity including culture, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, and multicultural education. It defines culture as behaviors, beliefs, and products passed down through generations. Socioeconomic status involves concepts like poverty, income inequality, and social class. Ethnicity relates to shared ancestry and experiences that can lead to prejudice, discrimination, or bias against groups. Gender explores physical, cognitive, and social differences and aims to reduce biases. Multicultural education techniques like the jigsaw classroom, perspective taking, and reducing bias promote diversity and inclusion.

technique with a three-decade track record of
successfully reducing racial conflict and increasing
positive educational outcomes. Just as in a jigsaw
puzzle, each piece--each student's part--is essential for
the completion and full understanding of the final
product. If each student's part is essential, then each
student is essential; and that is precisely what makes
this strategy so effective.
