The website describes using teachable moments to infuse the classroom with culture but warns against using multicultural units. Instead it suggest using multicultural diverse books and read those stories to the class and offer multiple choices in the library. The website also addresses that you should give all students the opportunity to learn about diverse cultures, even if your class is not culturally diverse. Teachers may be the only diversity exposure that students receive and they need to learn about living in a diverse world. The website describes offering books, posters, artwork, materials for various skin tones, and discussing similarities and differences that cultures share. I believe this is a great site for parents and teachers to address if their classroom and schools are offering multicultural education.

(Black 2013) It is obvious that integrated schools improve education for low-income and minority students, so the solutions to the stratification issues we face should include, (1) helping all parents understand diversity provides benefits to everyone and (2) developing and supporting policies that promote diversity, while maintaining individual choice to a degree. To address the issue of helping parents understand the importance of diversity, schools should utilize the increased marketing that has come with more choice. Instead of focusing entirely on the fiscal bottom line or test scores, schools could explain that critical thinking and better preparation for a multicultural world with its global economy are some of the benefits of integrated schools, areas white students are currently lacking in.

We as educators must not express our own values, beliefs and attitudes toward the children’s race, background and culture so that we can treat and give every child a fair go. However, for any bias, racism, or hidden attitudes to race and culture educators must be made visible and work towards a moral belief to successfully achieving culturally competent.

The three ways of understanding of culture diversity I believe that impacts student learning and instructional delivery are: Teachers can become more familiar with some of the causes of inequality in education, as well as the sources of diversity in classrooms to understand the importance of the different forms teaching and learning can take in place inside the schools and the classroom in which he or she is teaching. •By being more culturally responsive, teachers will have the ability to reflect and consider the relationship between their students’ culture and their individual needs for learning. These understandings consist of teaching responsiveness, creating organization and productive strategies and curriculum that involve genuine respect

Comparatively, Figure 6 indicates that Albuquerque as a whole is equally diverse. Part of TIS’s low percentage of ethnic backgrounds, as compared to Albuquerque as a whole, may be that TIS the school does not address diversity publicly, away from campus. With 25% of the student and faculty population of ethnic background (Table 2), and the mission to create a better, more peaceful world through intercultural understanding, TIS has perfect opportunity to bring true intercultural education into the classroom.

IDEA lists three ways of being culturally skilled in the classroom. This includes the teacher being culturally alert in the class to connect the gap of learning about other ethnicities, learning to communicate to students in unwritten and non-vocal styles, and know the different views of the cultures, for example, skin-to skin contact, no communication, the clothing of the student, and simple gestures. This is important in my eyes because my school alone is very diverse, and I had my share of teachers that did not respect a certain students religion or culture. This upset me and made me want to learn more about different cultures and religions. It also leads me to want to work harder to become more culturally aware, and diverse for my future students and willing to do what I can to break down barriers that may be created by students of different cultures or religions.
