1. Integrating the students different cultures into lessons is important for the students learning. But also not doing it in a way where they feel singled out.

2. Equity is a great way to implement learning as it allows student to share what has been taught and solidify the knowledge in their own minds while also being exposed to their classmates strengths and cultural differences.

1. One of the things I would implement is using her strategies of building relationships with my students, getting to know them and their backgrounds, lives, cultures and other important information about their lives outside of school to be able to teach them better

2. I would implement her assessment strategies; dy diversifying the assessment type it helps student to utilize their strengths at certain times and challenge them to grow at other times. If students were only given one assessment type the whole year it would cater to a specific group of students and lessen the courage of others.

It’s important to incorporate cultural knowledge into the classroom

Tying in culturally relevant/ important ideas to material allows student to connect with assignments on a deeper level

Important to encourage and support different cultures in all classrooms

Important to make sure teachers aren’t biased or one sided when it comes to cultures/ backgrounds. Having an open mind and supportive attitude toward all students provides the opportunity for growth at a school

Implements

Cultural awareness day (similar to science fair where students dress up for different cultures, bring food, and learn information about cultures) this allows for more students and teachers to be made aware of different cultures

Plays or stage productions where the entire school is given the chance to deeper understand different backgrounds and cultures

1. Ms. Rodriguez's Classroom takeaways:

Ms. Rodriguez was very culturally aware of her students and she was able to cater her lessons and assignments to her students needs, interests, and cultures.

Ms. Rodriguez connects her lessons to real-world experiences and things they will use in real life so her students will stay more engaged and relate math to their lives.

2. School wide initiatives takeaway:

Sunrise Middle School has lots of inclusive curriculum and makes it a priority that students understand other cultures and backgrounds within their history and other subjects materials.

Sunrise Middle Schools makes sure to include families and communities within their programs and policies so that the community can partner with teachers, students, and administrators to create a community that works together to academically and socially help their students.

3. What we would implement:

We would implement teaching and connecting lessons to students personal lives.

We would make small groups in the classroom based on students strengths and weaknesses so that they can collaborate and help each other succeed.
