Implementing a culturally responsive environment is not a task completed in isolation. While teachers can greatly affect their classrooms, a truly responsive school environment requires the buy-in from fellow teachers, administration, and the district to bring about change.
Using the “Action Plan Template,” create a schoolwide action plan that could be presented to district level administration. Your plan should demonstrate the value of creating a collaborative culture schoolwide, safe learning climate, and how this will positively affects student learning.
Include the following:
- Proposed actions to engage with families
- Roles and responsibilities of individuals needed to execute each action
- At least 3-5 family and community resources or digital tools that support student success and innovation
- Timeline for implementing each action
Support your research with 2-3 scholarly resources.
Additionally, include a 250-500 word reflection at the bottom of your action plan template. In your reflection discuss the following:
- In what way does each action step build a collaborative culture?
- How does the action plan build a safe, positive learning climate of openness and mutual respect for students, staff, and families, including when using technology?
- How does the plan account for collaboration with stakeholders (student, family, community) regarding digital tools being used?
- How will implementing the action plan engage students in the curriculum and make learning relevant?
