Even though students may come from the same cultural background , they may have different
viewpoints on a range of subjects and different opinions . Additionally , even when their cultures
appear to conflict , students from various cultural backgrounds can still share their perspectives and
opinions . The teacher ‘s main objectives when it comes to diversity are to foster respect and
understanding . Teachers should acknowledge how their own cultural norms shape their behavior and
define their ideas in order to demonstrate appreciation for diversity . To become more inclusive , they
should reflect on their own prejudices and stereotypes , participate in cross – cultural dialogue , listen
with curiosity , and make a commitment to self – education . Developing cultural competency always
requires deep listening . Whether teaching elementary school , middle school , or high school students ,
it is more crucial than ever for teachers to include culturally responsive instruction in the classroom in
our increasingly diverse and multicultural society . Additionally , the diversity among students is
growing , and it is n’t just based on race and ethnicity ; it can also be attributed to differences in
socioeconomic status , sexual orientation , gender identity , and linguistic background . All students
benefit from promoting inclusion , raising awareness of multicultural education , and approaching
instruction with cultural sensitivity . Increasing multicultural awareness and inclusion not only
promotes acceptance and helps students thrive in a world with increasing diversity , but it also helps
students with different backgrounds and needs succeed . Teachers have a fantastic opportunity to learn
how to foster positive learning environments in the classroom through our social , emotional , and
behavioral wellness Certificate Program . This program can also lay the groundwork for understanding
how to support diversity in the classroom . Diversity in and outside of the classroom will increase , so it
‘s critical that we prepare students to cope with change and accept those who are different from
themselves .
