We all are different.

Each individual has characteristics that differentiate him from the others. Each student that we have in our classroom will have specific physical characteristics, will come with a different cultural and intellectual baggage, each one will learn in a unique way; and we will have to know the peculiarities of all of them to adapt our teaching way to their needs and give them the best possible education. And the richness of diversity is that we all are different, and we all have some capacity.

As teachers we have an important task, and that is to work with our kids to achieve the full inclusion of all students.

Working and assessing individual differences from early years education will help us achieve the inclusion of all students in school and, later, in society.

Then, I recommend some stories that can help you work diversity in your classroom or at home.

Chufa is a somewhat clumsy Giraffe, and everyone tells him that he can not dance. But the problem seems to be another, and that is that he had not yet found his style.
