Through a literature review on these topics, I have been able to better understand strategies that can benefit culturally diverse students. To better understand these strategies in my classroom, I focused on three questions for this study: (1) What culturally responsive teaching strategies will I implement in my teaching to better support diverse students? (2) What are the methods that I can apply in my classroom to build student confidence in Mathematics? (3) What strategies are the most effective to use in my classroom to keep students engaged in a math classroom? To answer these questions, I focused on analyzing documents, observations, and journals. By answering these questions, it was my goal to better understand the strategies and techniques that students respond to the best and show a growth in their learning. 6/8/2022 Master of Arts in Teaching (initial licensure) Joshua Schulze, Tucker Brack action_research
