A great strategy for all subjects is to start by making and having an inclusive classroom, from there teachers can celebrate diverse holidays with activities geared towards their subject (Kansas, 2023).

A great way to for my students to start learning about different cultures is by providing them with different cultural clothes in our home center.

A great story for students who are in elementary school to listen to is The story of Rosa Parks. It is a great introductory book for multicultural literature.

After reading The story of Rosa Parks educators can use it as a transition to talk more about the Civil Rights movement.

A strategy to use in the classroom to help acknowledge all students' learning processes is to learn more about them at the beginning of the year using things like surveys and questionnaires (Guido, 2021).

Using the knowledge from surveys and questionnaires teachers are able to better plan activities and lessons to benefit all students.

Another way educators can make students feel more included in lessons is by using media pieces that positively depict and reflect a range of cultures (Guido, 2021).

It is important for students to feel included and seen in lessons and activities as it helps enhance their their learning while also providing new information for their peers as well.

Providing students with things such as diverse dress up clothes in younger classrooms help students start to explore different cultures at a different pace.

As educators it is important to use and model inclusive language in the classroom (Communication, 2024).

Teachers are a huge role model in students lives which is why it is so important to teach them things like using inclusive language as classrooms are more diverse.

While helping students learn and use inclusive language it is important for students to also learn how to hold a respectful conversation (Communication, 2024).

A great way for families and other community members to be involved in students' educational learning is by having them in as guest speakers.

Another opportunity, especially with older students, is by taking field trips to explore different parts of the community and the different jobs people have within the community.

A positive opportunity to grow students knowledge of the different cultures is for the school to hold a culture festival where families are able to to dress up and share their different food and music.

Something all educators should be doing with families is communicating, it is important that educators communicate with their students families whether it be face-to-face or even using communication tools (Gerzon-Kessler, 2024).
