Understandings
Diversity of learners refers to the differences among students most specially in the way
they learn in a variety of settings, through a variety of processes with varied outcomes.
Teachers can facilitate the learning process among diverse learners by first recognizing
and respecting individual differences, then using the knowledge about students’ differences to
deign differentiated learning activities to ensure that all students can attain desired learning goals.
(PPST Domain 3)
 Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers, Article VIII Sec. 3 dictates that “Under no
circumstances shall a teacher be prejudiced nor discriminatory against any learner”
Learners’ differences stem from many factors: gender, race, ethnicity or cultural
background (nationality, province, language) intellectual abilities, religions, sexual preferences and
socio economic status, needs, interests, strengths and experiences.
 All learners have different ways of thinking, learning and absorbing
 Students’ self-awareness is enhanced by diversity
 Student diversity contributes to cognitive development. It can also promote harmony
 Learners are diverse and subject must be taught differently to respond to their needs,
interests, strengths and experiences
 Reach every student at his/her level
 Assist your students to grow and celebrate success.
 All learners are worthy of respect and didgnity
