What is entailed in a Job Application's Diversity Statement?
I am in the process of applying for academic/tenure track jobs in community colleges in California. (Yes, I realize this is not a good time to be on the job market). Part of the application asks the applicant to compose a '"statement of diversity." What does this statement entail? Is this where you talk about your own experience with diversity (e.g. growing up biracial or in a low socio-economic group); how you understand the campus's diverse make-up and how you will work with it; or is it a personal statement on what you understand diversity to mean (i.e. not just racial or cultural diversity, but age, religion and sex as well) or how you see yourself working with a diverse range of people.
The only guideline provided by my career counselor was "It is not asking you to give your views on affirmative action or if there is discrimination in the educational system."
Any advice is appreciated, especially if you have had experience filing a statement of this sort.
Hi there, I too am writing my statement. I am not sure what they want, but I think you are on the right path. I think you could write about both your own understanding of diversity, and how it would help you work with students on the campus.
For mine, I wrote about my own experiences living in a diverse community, and working in a school where I worked with diverse students, and also discussed my beliefs about the importance of diversity. I did not include information about what I would do on a campus to promote diversity, but perhaps I should. I'm glad you asked because it helped me brainstorm what I might do better next time!

Education Jobs - Top 5 Jobs in Education
Even though there are talk of high rates of unemployment, education jobs are still available.

Coaches can expect to earn an average yearly salary of $34,720.
Literacy teachers

They are teachers and instructors who teach children and adults as well. While the average wage is estimated at $47,830, the employment figure is expected to go up to 87,000 by 2016.

You must be wondering what cooks could do in education work. Cooks are required in all educational institutions for preparing breakfast, lunch and food for after school programs as well.
