Abstract

Educators in California have been recognizing the need of promoting equity in education in order to close the achievement gap in a diverse community. Teachers and school administrators can promote equity by recognizing, respecting, and attending to the distinct strengths and challenges facing the students they serve. High-quality schools differentiate curriculum, services, and resource distribution to meet the unique needs of their learners. This paperl highlights the difficulties, possibilities, and resources available in California classrooms. It presents a conversation on how educators may establish a culturally inclusive classroom, one that embraces diversity and inclusion in the classroom while encouraging students to disseminate the values of inclusion and cultural respect in their daily lives. Best practices feature ideas, recommendations, and tactics for reaching out to culturally diverse students
