Teaching children from diverse backgrounds begins with learning who they are, then using the knowledge and culture students bring to school in a standards-based curriculum to achieve student success. This guide provides tools that show why and how to create culturally responsive, standards-based (CRSB) instruction in the classroom. Results of effective programs include:

• Increased academic success for all learners

• Engaged and motivated students

• Strengthened partnerships between students, families, and communities
