About This Issue

This issue of The Tutor explores various issues of diversity. It is not a complete guide to diversity, just a first step. Seek out other resources (see "Resources," p. 11). Talk to individuals and contact organizations that can help you enhance your level of cultural competence and that of your program.

Designed to broaden understanding of diversity, this issue offers guidelines to identify stereotypical images in books, an explanation of various learning styles, and ways to make service activities accessible for all students. In the end, you and your tutee may not simply "tolerate" diversity, but truly embrace it, want to learn more about it, and achieve greater understanding-of yourself and others.
