• Diversity and a Safe Learning Environment Diversity

     

    This Apex classroom will be a safe environment for every individual as far as I am able to ensure that outcome. This means I will treat each student with respect, and in turn I expect respect to be given to me as the instructor and every individual enrolled in my credit recovery classes. Disagreement does not equal disrespect. We all bring different points of view, different personal values, different life experiences, and different personal preferences with us into the classroom. This diversity makes for great discussion and adds interesting dimensions to our interpersonal relationships that is welcomed in the academic arena. Though we celebrate our differences, I expect each student to respect the rights and needs of fellow classmates. Students cannot feel safe to express themselves without the assurance that their ideas, attitudes and beliefs will be treated with respect. Courtesy is key.
