How to Conduct a Baseline Survey

Question 1 

Culturally responsive instruction is an approach that helps to identify and nurture students with exceptional cultural strengths to promote student achievement and their well-being in school. This approach helps develop environments, instructional methods, and curriculum that can be used to reflect and validate students' experiences. Additionally, culturally responsive instruction helps create a strong connection between diverse students' backgrounds and classroom lessons through strategies that deliver and design culturally responsive lessons. 

Question 2 

Embracing diversity in classrooms is significant as it is designed to help every student succeed in academic achievement. It also influences how we engage with the world and the different life perspectives we are likely to experience. Acknowledging cultural diversity in schools allows learners to identify different ways of behaving, learning, communicating, and interacting with other people. 

Question 3 

  Teachers in multi-cultural classrooms experience challenges while providing a suitable learning environment and giving instructions that promote academic achievement. First, it makes the educator present one topic using different perspectives to help all the students to understand since different events are understood differently in different cultures. Educators also experience the challenge of language barrier since students come from diverse backgrounds.    

Question 4 

Through my experience as an educator, the difficult moments while dealing with infants and toddlers parents are that they spend much of their time learning the kids' behaviors. For preschoolers and primary students, most parents believe that their children need to go to the next level without delay to avoid the costs. The parents also believe that teachers are not dedicating their time to these kids, and some demand transfer letters.  

Question 5 

Most parents want to know their children's progress in behaviors, listening skills, and writing skills during child development. For example, the parents of toddlers and infants want to about what type of food to feed them and how many hours of sleep. To the preschoolers, parents are interested in knowing how to help their children develop social skills before joining school, like how to play with their peers, taking turns, and sharing. Lastly, the parents of primary students want to know how their kids perform and their behavior in school. Also, parents want to know if their children are making any progress from previous lessons.
