4.)Lastly multicultural education is not only limited to what type of content you can put out, (Gay, G 2018) teaches us that to be culturally responsive it involves you being able to have your students use their own cultural knowledge, first hand experiences, and ways that they are able to learn as assets into your own classroom.

2.) An even stronger approach to developing this within your classroom would be to find ways to connect the community and family together with the school/students. Organizing events such as cultural day will allow students to learn about all different cultures that are within their school and more. This gives students a sense of validation for students as their homes and culture are welcomed with open arms while educating others on their backgrounds as well allowing them to feel respected and valued.Moll, L. C., Amanti, C., Neff, D., & González, N. (1992).

3.)Some students who are multicultural might have difficulties in learning the same way students who are local do. Scaffolding can be a huge asset to inclining their education. Breaking down tasks and assignments into smaller parts or much similar form along with providing models or pictures to help better their understanding of what is being taught.Gay, G. (2018).

4.)Lastly a really effective way of adapting teaching styles to meet diverse needs is by reflecting and consuming feedback from those students. Interacting and pulling information from their brain and how they are feeling, along with what might be harder or easier is a good effective way in moving forward and making learning more achievable for them and their circumstances.

2.) Celebrating cultural events and histories like celebrations or holidays is a good way to foster a multicultural environment. Taking acknowledgment in the cultures you have in your class and doing research in finding important holidays and events and finding ways to incorporate them into your lessons plans when needed can allow students to feel inclusive and respected even if their culture celebrates differently than others.

3.) Giving students the opportunity for open discussion during events like "Morning Meeting" to share thoughts or information about their culture that align with what your curriculum is teaching is a strong way of imbedding a multicultural classroom as well. "Students' cultural knowledge and identifies should be treated as assets to instruction, not as challenges to be overcome" (Gay,2018, p. 27).

4.) Lastly a strong way to foster a multicultural classroom is to set up your classroom in a way that can show the diversity in cultures within your class. Displaying students works, global maps, or any cultural posters or pictures are very effective in fostering multicultural environment. Including books and learning materials as well from different cultures can express cultural appreciation.

“Linking content to the cultural backgrounds of students as a way to enhance student involvement while maintaining their cultural integrity” (Wlodkowski & Ginsberg, 1994, p. 17).

2.) Coming into contact with your school and organizing cultural game nights can engage families and community members to come enjoy each others presence while gaining knowledge through fun games form different cultures that will give everyone an inclusive feel while appreciating other cultures and games they value.

3.)Creating partnerships with the school or any advisors or programs that can help integrate families and communities into being an active part of students education of different cultures can be very beneficial. "Schools and districts nationwide have heavily emphasized supporting students’ health and wellbeing by engaging families and caregivers to truly support the “whole child,"Jarpe-Ratner, E., Offstein, M., Williams, A., Odoms-Young, A., & Chriqui, J. F. (2024)

4.) Working with your school in trying to bring in guest speakers varying from community members or family members from students in the class to come and share information about their culture when intergraded with your curriculum can be very beneficial. When bringing in new people into the classroom it can be an attention grabber and really interest students in learning from what they have to say. Keeping a consistent rotation and always bringing in new people to educate about to new cultures and how they live and what might be different or the same will help children, family's, and community members have an overall better understating of some of the cultures that surround their community's.
