ensure that the school provides a culturally responsive education. Learn about the communities

of the children in the school and become involved in the concerns and needs of those

communities. Acknowledge the importance of educating teachers for diversity. Sponsor on-

going staff development in multilingual, multicultural schools to improve the learning

environment and academic progress of children from culturally and linguistically diverse
backgrounds.

Encourage all teachers and staff to have positive and respectful attitudes for all cultures. Ensure

that all staff members demonstrate anti-racist and anti-bias attitudes and behaviors. Emphasize

developing language proficiency and connecting school to students' lives to assist student

learning. Ensure that the school is providing a rich learning experience for all students. Refer to

Diverse Backgrounds. Expect all students to perform at high levels of academic performance.

Learn about one's own culture and language. Examine how this knowledge influences teaching

style, reading material selection, and classroom activities. Become aware of cultural influences

that affect the communication and interaction patterns of students and families. Learn to

understand and respect cultural differences. Learn about the languages and cultures of children

in the classroom through ethnographic inquiry. Consider how these various languages and

cultural backgrounds may affect literacy instruction.
