To incorporate multicultural perspectives and content across different areas, teachers can invite guest speakers to talk to students including speakers from other countries and in person or online visits (Teaching and Learning Hub, 2024.)

Another way is by providing a variety of music and books for students to listen or read. Include books by men/women, writers from different backgrounds and cultures, and music from different genres.

Some methods that teachers can use to acknowledge and utilize students' cultural backgrounds are learning about the students in the class, how each student learns, and have high expectations for all students (University of San Diego - Professional & Continuing Education, 2024.)

One method to meet the needs of all students is by having flexible grouping. By having flexible grouping, students can learn from each other. This allows a student who may be struggling to learn to read be able to learn some strategies from an advanced reader (How Do You Use Flexible Grouping in Your Classroom?, 2023.)

Another method is by using technology in the classroom. By using technology, students who have trouble reading can listen to an audio book, or students that have trouble writing can use an assistive device (Borman, 2025.)

A final method is by creating a classroom that is inclusive of all students. This can be done by teaching students to respect themselves and others, by using language that is inclusive of all students and by encouraging students to learn about each other and their cultures (Leslie, 2023.)

Some ideas for creating an inclusive classroom that respects and celebrates cultural differences are celebrating each student's differences, spending time learning about each others cultures and sharing pictures of their families.

Teaching students how to say hello, goodbye or welcome in several different languages to help them learn to communicate with respect towards each other.

Cultural events help students to learn about each other and how to be respectful of others. One such event is by having students and their families come together to share about their culture with the class.

A final way is by having students bring in something that showcases their culture. Items like clothing, food, music or books are great ways to showcase a culture.

There are many ways to involve families in the classroom. One such way is by inviting families to the school and have a career day. This allows students to learn how they can be anything they want to be.

Another way is by inviting parents in to volunteer in the classroom and school. Having parents help out at school events or being a part of the PTO gives the parents a chance to be involved and help ensure all students and cultures are celebrated (What Are the Best Ways to Involve Families and Communities in Your Classroom?, 2023)

Having parent workshops helps parents to be involved and helps the parents better understand what goes on at school. Some workshop ideas are parent-teacher communication, how to prepare your student for state tests, how to classes on different subjects.

A community-based learning project that schools, community and families can participate in are school cleanup, beautification of a local park or the school, or raising money for a local charity. These ideas will help teach students to be respectful of others and of spaces (Manuel, 2025.)
