My Project

My students come from a variety of multicultural backgrounds. These multicultural materials would help my students to learn and to recognize the value of diversity and inclusion. My students will be able to read and learn about friendship, family, traditions and more.

My students will be able to explore what makes people unique, how culture is celebrated throughout the world, and how kindness and respect strengthen relationships and build community.

I would like my students to learn and explore a variety of diversity and inclusion topics. For example, identity and culture to fairness and injustice. In addition, I would like my multicultural students to discover how they can make a difference in school and in the community.
