Students at Mary Harris "Mother" Jones Elementary School are multicultural and multinational. Teachers use diversity as a resource for effective learning by understanding how students learn, knowing their students as individuals, and growing in cultural awareness.
Be positive about diversity in classrooms through appreciation and celebration of all cultures. Set high expectations and promote equity and respect. Visual or audio tools and resources in multiple languages can enrich learning.

It shows how to pick instructional strategies and teaching resources that are most appropriate for a student's background and reviews ideas for putting a program in place that encourages cultural responsiveness and positive attitudes about diversity in your classroom, school, and community.
