Create lessons that include multiple voices, histories, and experiences. Teach about different cultures all year long. Make sure what you teach reflects every student’s background, so they all feel seen.

Send home letters, emails, or messages in the language your student and their families speak at home. There are many translation apps, or you can ask your school secretary for help. This shows the families that you care and their voices matter, and keeps them involved.

Chinese New Year is a fun holiday to celebrate.

Invite Families to share their cultures through food, music, clothing, or stories during events held at school. Students love to show off their heritage, and everyone will learn something new in a fun and positive way.

Use examples and topics that connect to your students home life and cultures. For example, when teaching fractions, you can talk about recipes or traditions from their cultures to help make the lesson more meaningful.

Use storytelling, music, art, and activities to help students learn. Many cultures pass down knowledge through stories and movement. This makes learning fun and easy to understand.

Some students may not want to speak up in front of the class because their culture or language skills are different. You can use private check-ins, drawings, thumbs up or down, so everyone has a safe way to show what they have learned.
