Educators must be informed about supporting linguistically and culturally diverse students through equitable instructional practices that ensure all students can succeed. Some school staff complain about growing diversity and express negative views. An ESL specialist is asked to present key principles of culturally responsive teaching to address staff concerns and expand understanding, while recognizing struggles. The presentation will compare approaches to teaching diversity, provide classroom examples of culturally responsive practices, and address staff resistance by outlining benefits of supporting diverse students.
