The what, why, and how of culturally responsive teaching: International mandates, challenges, and opportunities
This discussion acknowledges that culturally responsive teaching is relevant for international contexts. However, it needs to be nuanced to fit the specific characteristics and needs of these different settings, relative to societal dynamics, and student ethnic, cultural, racial, immigration/migration, economic, and linguistic demographics.

Acting on Beliefs in Teacher Education for Cultural Diversity
This discussion focuses on an aspect of teacher education for diversity that is frequently mentioned but not developed in sufficient detail.

Culturally responsive teaching in special education for ethnically diverse students: Setting the stage
Two major premises are developed in this discussion. One is that many students of color are disproportionately assigned to special education because educators lack knowledge about or appreciation for their cultural values and socialization, and how these affect learning behaviors. The other premise is that the educational quality of students of color in both special and regular education can be improved significantly by using instructional progra…
