The Important Of Cultural Diversity in Education

1. Maintain An "Inclusive" Curriculum That Is Aware Of The Differences  

A culturally responsive curriculum is both inclusive within the sense that it ensures that each student is included in all aspects of the varsity and recognizes the unique differences that students may have. A culturally responsive curriculum also encourages teachers to understand and recognize each student's non-school cultural life and background, and it provides a way for them to incorporate this information into the curriculum, promoting inclusion.  

To help students achieve personal and professional success in a diverse world, schools must teach all students how to integrate cultural differences into their knowledge domain. A culturally responsive curriculum assists students from minority ethnic or racial backgrounds in developing a sense of self as individuals while also proudly identifying with their cultural group. Teachers can play a big role in assisting these students in succeeding by establishing culturally responsive classrooms.  

2. Show An Interest In Your Students' Ethnic Backgrounds 

Encourage your students to conduct research and share information about their ethnic background in order to build trust with their classmates.  

3. Maintain High Standards For Student Achievement 

Given that culturally responsive instruction may be a student-centered philosophy, it should come as no surprise that achievement expectations are determined and assigned to every student individually. Students are not lavishly praised for simple tasks, but they are praised in proportion to their achievements. If a student is not completing her work, one should engage the student positively and help guide the student toward explaining how to complete the initial steps required to complete a given task.

 
4. Organize Students Into Groups For Learning Activities 

Group learning can help students develop skills in collaboration, teamwork, and leadership. To take it a step further, group your students into diverse groups that reflect the range of the classroom. Students can learn just as much from each other as they can from the lessons you teach them, and it may open up opportunities for interaction that they would not have had otherwise.  

5. Being More Compassionate 

Acceptance extends beyond the self to include the community in which we live. Students who learn to be accepting and inclusive of others can grow to have empathy for others.
