The Arc Maryland and its partners are pleased to provide you with an extensive Diversity Celebration Toolkit that aligns with the Maryland State Curriculum Indicators for teachers, counselors, volunteers, and other staff in preparing lesson plans and activities for students to celebrate inclusive schools and diverse abilities of all students. The Toolkit was developed to utilize with your students either in the classroom or virtually online. This toolkit embraces and celebrates the differences of every child while promoting awareness and inclusion. Across the world, we are experiencing a new form of isolation that is required in response to the coronavirus pandemic. We hope in the not too distant future, we will be able to celebrate our resilience in the face of difficulty and experience the joys of being included in a community that learns, plays, and works together as well as recognizing “The Time for Inclusion is NOW!”
