Here’s a description of just one of my classes that I had to write for a formal lesson plan that I did earlier in the year…

This class is composed of 20 high-beginning students, eleven girls and nine boys. There are nine 6^th graders, two 7th graders, and seven 8^th graders.  The students come from eighteen different countries and speak thirteen
different languages.

If that’s not diversity, I don’t know what it is.  No wonder my job felt hard sometimes!
