- Diversity is a defining feature of California's past, present,
and future. Increasing the diversity of our educators to better
reflect the population of California is just one aspect of the
College of Education's dedication to just, equitable and inclusive
education. Diversity refers to the variety of personal experiences,
values, and worldviews that arise from differences of culture and
circumstance. Such differences include race, ethnicity, gender,
age, religion, language, abilities/disabilities, sexual
orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic region, and
more.
- All College of Education students leave with a perspective that
recognizes, honors, and respects the knowledge and strengths all
learners bring from their communities and identities. This
perspective is known as Just Equitable and Inclusive Education
(JEIE) and is evident in all our programs. College of Education
students use this perspective to make community-based assets an
integral component of curricular and pedagogical development to
enhance academic success. In this way, our students learn to value
and draw upon students' backgrounds not only to support them in
developing skills leading to success in the broader society, but
also as a mechanism to transform our schools and communities. We
believe that all faculty and staff who work for the College must
share these same commitments. Click here http://ed.fullerton.edu/about-the-college/jeie.php

(JEIE).
- The diversity statement should focus on your commitment to a
Just, Equitable and Inclusive Education. The diversity statement
will be assessed based on knowledge, experience, application, and
expertise as it relates to JEIE. The strongest statement will have
an emphasis on the intersectionality between JEIE and a social
identity or marker (social class, race, gender, sexual orientation,
language, etc.)
- This statement can take several different forms and should address at least one of the following:
- Your contributions to advancing principles focused on
JEIE.
- How you incorporate principles of JEIE into your instructional
practices, your research and/or service activities.
- How you have personally experienced JEIE.
- Your experiences and/or qualifications that enhance your
ability to work with diverse students, faculty, parents, and
community stakeholders.

letters of recommendation submitted. Please have these ready for
the referents to submit. On the References page of the online
