Culturally responsive teaching is much more than simply recognizing the cultural background of your students (although that’s a good start).
As a teacher in today’s multicultural world, fostering culturally responsive teaching practices is becoming more and more necessary to successfully create a learning environment that is engaging and accessible to a broader range of students.

To mark the anniversary on 25 September, more than a million people in 140 countries will take to the streets to raise awareness for the goals and to hold governments accountable for their slow rollout of national implementation programs.
