Implementing a Non-Culturally
Biased Curriculum
 
A non-culturally biased curriculum welcomes differences in all
students and works to eliminate biases and unfairness.
We can eliminate Cultural biases in teaching by:
Becoming culturally aware of the students that you teach.
‘Helping students develop self awareness and an appreciation
for the cultures of other students.
Model tolerance
Provide cooperative learning opportunities among students.
Celebrate other languages spoken in the classroom.
 
Supporting Differentiated Learning
Needs
 
Differentiated instruction is the approach that we take in teaching our students
with different abilities in the same class.  It is how we as teachers make
coursework obtainable for all students.
Differentiation includes:
Utilizing efficient classroom management
Assessing each students’ readiness in all subject areas
Encouraging student interaction
Responding to all students’ various learning styles
Grouping students for instruction
Learning each students’ zone of proximal development
The intent is to maximize each student's growth and individual success by
meeting each student where he or she is … rather than expecting students to
modify themselves for the curriculum. (Hall, 2002)
