Social Diversity Awareness is an essential skill for building respectful, inclusive environments in school, work, and life. This module helps students recognize and value internal and external diversity, understand how diverse roles and experiences enrich the workplace, and advocate for equity through inclusive behaviors and communication. By integrating the SBCSS Employability Skills into the classroom, educators empower students to embrace their identities, connect across cultures, and contribute to a welcoming and effective team environment.

Aligned to California’s Career Ready Practices, this content supports students in developing cultural competence, self-awareness, and collaboration through interactive presentations, reflective journaling, and real-world scenarios. Students explore how social diversity impacts career success, develop respectful communication strategies, and document their insights in a career portfolio. They also practice sharing their experiences to prepare for interviews and professional opportunities.

This page includes a teacher guide, student resources, and all necessary links to implement the Social Diversity Awareness module, preparing students to lead with empathy, respect, and inclusion in diverse settings.

The teacher guide, presentations, and worksheets have been adapted from Oregon Employability Skills and tailored to meet the needs of our region.
