Title

High School Diversity Clubs: Advisor Qualifications, Resources, and Curriculum

Abstract

The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to investigate how school principals and diversity club advisors use diversity clubs to promote multicultural education in a southwestern Wisconsin conference. The researchers explored how principals and club advisors’ qualifications, club resources, and multicultural curriculum promote diversity. Eleven participants from 5 public high schools were surveyed and interviewed. The researchers discovered that advisor qualifications were not a perceived barrier to promoting diversity appreciation. Additionally, financial resources, multicultural curriculum, and professional development for club advisors were significant factors in a school’s ability to promote diversity.
