Teachers should be incorporating materials that students can directly relate to at some point during their studies. These materials should include similar cultures, perspectives, and backgrounds that the students can recognize themselves in. Not only will this support students of diverse backgrounds and learning styles, it is also a great educational opportunity to teach other students about these perspectives different from their own. In Kathryn Au's book Culturally Responsive Teaching: Theory, Research, and Practice she states that, "Cultural identity needs to be explored by all students, not just students of diverse backgrounds" (Au, 12, 2011). Everyone can learn a little more about each other.
