Some of my teaching practices around cultural diversity include:
* Increasing my "cultural competency" by learning as much as I can about my students' culture
* Being very aware of the language that I use in the classroom
* Learning about the students' family structure and life
* Making connections between academic content and various cultures
* Encouraging various cultures to enter the classroom through celebrations
* Reflecting on my teaching with a focus on cultural interactions
