1. Designing a curriculum that reflects the diverse cultural backgrounds of the students is really important in making sure all of the students feel valued.

2. Having differentiated instruction with cultural sensitivity is also needed in the classroom. Tailoring instruction to meet the diverse cultural needs of the students is needed when lesson planning. Being aware of cultural differences in communication styles, learning preferences, and values is really helpful when figuring out what works best for the class.

3. Flexible grouping is something that can also be really helpful in the classroom. This allows students to work in different groups based on their beliefs, needs, interests, and skill levels. Rotating the groups also gives the students a chance to learn about one another, and the chance to collaborate with diverse peers and learn from different perspectives.

4. Taking on professional development opportunities to learn about cultural competence is also something educators can do. The trainings can help educators understand and address their own biases, learn about cultural practices, and develop strategies for inclusive teaching.

Students can talk about their beliefs, tell stories, show dances, and talk about their cultural language. These are just some of the things they could share information about, there is so much more they could do!

2. Having a storytelling hour where community members can come in and tell stories to the students in their native language. This can help teach the students about all of the diverse languages that are around them, that they probably do not know about.

3. Student Success Conferences with the students parents or guardians to talk about the student and how they are doing is really important, and does a lot to help the students be successful. This helps ensure everyone is on the same page.

4. Community family nights that the school district puts on is something that is also really beneficial for the students and the educators.
