Problem: Exposing students to diversity in people, stories, experiences, cultures, religions, etc. will ultimately prepare them for future and present experiences. Considering multiculturalism and diversity when planning curriculum can make learning more relevant in our global world.
Chiariello (2012) uses the term, "culturally responsive instruction", which provides teachers with an opportunity to integrate diversity into instruction and encourage collaboration for the betterment of all students" (para. 1). As culturally responsive teachers, we are charged to navigate the standards to accommodate all diverse learners. How are educators expanding curriculum to become more culturally responsive so all students have an opportunity to learn and be successful?
