Training and resources to effectively educate about inclusion, acceptance of others, and respect in relation to cultural differences, is more important than ever before.
Multicultural content is relevant to promote DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) practices and policy, however these efforts are not sufficiently meeting the needs of teachers and students. These efforts are either under-resourced or are insufficiently funded to deliver on scaling multicultural learning tools and curriculum in school districts. This overburdens teachers as they are struggling in developing or finding relevant content.
Finally, pre-packaged content is now included in Google Classroom including lesson plans, activities, Powerpoint presentations, assessments, and feedback reports with options of printed materials currently available for 2nd-grade students (3rd-5th grade coming soon); to prepare students for 21st-century global citizenship while maintaining academic excellence.
