In the theory of action, culturally responsive teaching and learning is emphasized, therefore it needs to be at the forefront of our instruction and professional development. However, this is an area we as a school community are still developing. Many of our students and staff have experienced a significant amount of trauma during this pandemic. In addition, many of our students are in constant crises mode at varying times of the day, yet our instruction does not reflect these challenges. Our school community can benefit from more restorative practices and trauma informed instructional practices to support our students.

Additionally, we have these curriculum that we follow but we need to ensure that while teaching the curriculum, we allow supports and flexibility to make it accessible to all of our student populations, not make our kids fit the curriculum.

It is imperative that teachers know their students and their background to create a classroom environment that is open and free of bias. The curriculums as a whole provide opportunities for students to connect with the material (i.e 7th grade Humanities unit 3 - The Harlem Renaissance). This creates deeper connections for students as it is relevant to them and their lives. It provides the opportunity for deeper conversations in the classroom that integrate world views.

In order to assure that each student is academically proficient and socially equipped in class and outside of the school, I make sure that in my lessons, students reach the goal of making connections between their personal lives and what is learned. In order to make this possible, I push students to interact with one another and not usually with their friends, activate prior knowledge, incorporate their native countries and language in our lessons, and give students the resources that they academically need where some of them may need more than others.

It's essential that students and teachers know each other. As teachers, we must learn and be sensitive to the diversity of our students and their cultural backgrounds. Each student brings cultural experiences that will add diversity to each classroom, and students need to be related to as full, complex, multidimensional people.
"If teachers have positive beliefs about ethnic and cultural
diversity, they will act in accordance with them, and vice versa." Geneva Gay.
