Abstract
-
This action research project explores the intersection of teaching practices, inclusivity, and diverse perspectives within the classroom environment. Grounded in the standards outlined by the Council of Chief State School Officers' InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards and an in-depth analysis of Critical Race Theory, the project aims to evaluate and adjust instructional methods with the classroom to ensure equitable representation and foster inclusive learning environments. Through assessment and reflection, the project addresses implicit biases, promotes fair representation for all students, and integrates diverse perspectives into classroom discussions and learning materials. The findings from this research inform a comprehensive approach to teaching that prioritizes cultural responsiveness and empowers students to engage meaningfully with content and discourse, while presenting a path for continual growth and improvement. Ultimately, this project underscores the importance of continual reflection and adaptation in promoting student success and cultivating a positive and inclusive educational experience.
