In successful preschool, they become aware of the different students they will teach and their backgrounds. They build on their cultures in the classroom. They promote these differences through carefully thought out lessons or even play time that includes different cultures. Teachers can reflect on their own personal experiences to see how they can offer a rich educational experience. It is also important to encourage their language in the classroom, and not just make them speak it at home. Have them teach the class how to say "hello" or "friend" in class.

In this video, an educator explains that culturally responsive teaching happens when you combine the classroom with students cultures. The goal is to teach students to have a voice and become a part of their community.

Once they can identify the changes they have made personally and in their classroom community, they have a better understanding of how they can one day change their community.
