Answer:
1. Examine your teaching materials
A first-grade rally to end homelessness: To learn about homelessness and civic engagement, students write letters to the mayor and use their creative skills to produce awareness materials like posters and songs.
Second language practice in second grade: Students who speak Spanish at home help teach their classmates and teachers how to pronounce and translate a Spanish song.
Fourth-grade history: While learning about the gold rush, students write diaries from a wide range of historical actors like mine workers and owners, but also from the perspective of women and immigrants that worked alongside them.
2. Get to know your students
Schedule time out of your day to visit classrooms or walk through the halls. Let students know that they can approach you with problems (or just to say hello), and then follow through on what they come to you with.
Communicate your vision and goals for the school to your teachers. Encourage them to come to you with any questions or concerns, and work with them to promote diversity in the classroom.
Show some school spirit. Participate in school events and visit different clubs or after-school activities. If students see that you’re invested in school culture, they’ll be more likely to also participate.
3. Be willing to address inequality
Shut down discrimination whenever you hear it
Use language that promotes positivity and doesn’t reinforce existing stereotypes (for example, the phrase “boys will be boys” shouldn’t be used to justify sexism or aggression)
Respond effectively to inappropriate comments or actions. Take infractions seriously and inform parents when necessary
Encourage students to include all of their peers if you see division forming along racial or economic lines.
Remove existing markers of inequality in your school. (For example, make sure students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch programs aren’t singled out and made to feel different.)
4. Connect with parents and communit
Host a community food drive. Ask students, parents and neighbours to bring in non-perishable food items to donate to the local food bank
Start a paper or email newsletter to communicate school news and events to parents
Host a parent night as an opportunity to outline any curriculum additions or special events the school is having to promote diversity
5. Meet diverse learning needs
Introduce adaptive technologies. Adaptive technologies give students with physical or learning disabilities the support they need to enter the lesson alongside their peers. This can include anything from speech-to-text software, talking calculators for students with dyscalculia, or modified computer accessories for students with physical disabilities.
Encourage teachers to use different teaching strategies. Techniques like project-based learning, differentiated instruction and blended learning all allow teachers to help learners with different needs.

Make sure all students are participating in the classroom discussion and activities. It’s sometimes difficult to tell if one group is participating more or less, so encourage teachers to track class participation and adjust as necessary
6. Hire diversely
Establish programs at the district level that recruit teachers from non-traditional programs and provide financial help and training.
Improve the data systems that monitor diverse hiring efforts, and reward schools that meet diversity requirements.
Hire earlier in the year to reach more in-demand candidates
Support principal preparation programs, including actively recruiting teachers and supporting their professional development
7. Support professional development opportunities
Beyond Heroes and Holidays: This resource is for teachers, school leaders, students and parents alike. It provides a model for building a culturally responsive curriculum and includes in-service activities, strategies for teaching and offers an analysis of racial inequality in the current school system.
The Center for Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning is an organization that offers professional development opportunities for schools, businesses and the general public on becoming culturally responsive, “moving below the superficial focus on culture.” They offer half to multi-day workshops, as well as coaching and online courses.
Teaching Tolerance is an organization that helps “teachers and schools educate children and youth to be active participants in a diverse democracy.” The program emphasizes social justice and anti-bias, and offers workshops in a number of major cities as well as free online resources. They also have a team of professional development trainers available to run sessions at the school or district level.
