Calendar of Religious and Ethnic Observances (2009 - 2011)
"The American Conference on Diversity Calendar is a resource designed to encourage public awareness of the great diversity of religious and ethnic groups that live in the United States... Teachers may find the calendar particularly helpful as it identifies opportunities for objective, non-creedal instruction about particular cultures. Employers will find that it serves as a reminder of those religious observances that may result in employee absences. However, the list is not exhaustive of the observances of any one religion..." (From the publication's introduction).
Additional resources: Religious Holidays & Cultural Observances (California State Polytechnic University - Ponoma); Ethnic and Religious Calendar (University of Alabama at Birmingham, Office for Equity and Diversity); and Diversity Calendar (National Education Association).
