Tools for Planning Ways to Teaching about and Celebrate
the Diverse Culture, Customs, and Traditions
of Your Students and Their Families
Quick Tips
The goal of celebrating diversity is not "political correctness."
The goals are: #1 to create a sense of belonging for each family in our school community
#2 to help all students develop appreciation of the cultural diversity that comprises modern American culture.

Designated observances (Months/Days)
serve as reminders to celebrate our rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and
histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of people from specific cultural groups.
However, we should make it our goal to acknowledge contributions made by all groups of people
in the U.S. throughout the year, not just during the heritage month celebrations.

The list provided above does not adequately represent all of the cultural diversity at your school.
We encourage you plan a school-wide event for Multicultural Diversity Day (October 21).
Be sure to invite the families of your students to join the planning of how their cultures will be represented.
