Diversity is a fact. Equity is a choice. Inclusion is an action. Belonging is an outcome.–Arthur Chan<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Diversity<\/strong> at Montclair is recognition of the wide range of identities, experiences, and perspectives represented among students at Montclair and in your classes.<\/p>\n

Equity<\/strong> is about providing an educational experience that supports the learning of all students in your class.<\/p>\n

Inclusion<\/strong> means creating a learning environment where every student\u2014regardless of their viewpoint, background, identity, or experiences\u2014is valued, supported, and empowered to succeed at Montclair and in your class.<\/p>\n

Belonging<\/strong> means fostering an environment where every student feels recognized as a valued member of your class, the discipline, and the Montclair community.<\/p>\n

Using inclusive teaching strategies and fostering an inclusive classroom climate supports the success of all students and prepares them to thrive beyond the University. Exposure to inclusive learning environments helps students become more open-minded, broadens their understanding of diverse viewpoints and perspectives, and equips them to contribute effectively in a heterogeneous and interconnected world.<\/p>\n

Concrete steps to communicate and enact these principles are helpful.<\/p>\n

Diversity = Recognizing who is in your class<\/h2>\n
