Cultural and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) Students
This course provided an opportunity to examine cultural and linguistic diversity (CLD) from a classroom perspective by conducting an overview of theories, principles, practices, and issues in instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners. It focused on the theory and methods for creating multiple pathways of learning to accommodate students with varying backgrounds of knowledge, readiness, language, interest, and learning styles (CSU- Global, 2019).

In order to connect to all learners, we must personalize learning. A part of this process is being culturally responsive—getting to know the learners in your community.
This is done through the building of connections based on their needs, interests, and backgrounds.
Cultural responsiveness is the ability to learn from and relate respectfully with people of your own culture as well as those from other cultures.

- Learner Connected, the elements of which encourage learners to foster meaningful relationships with peers, family, friends, educators, and others, in hopes of expanding their horizons based on important connections.
- Learner Focused, in which educators help learners to understand their personal needs and strengths, as well as identify how their personal interests might align with their learning for more concrete connections to the topic.
- Learner Demonstrated, wherein the learners demonstrate competency or mastery in their own way, at their own pace, in part by starting lessons at different sections based on prior knowledge of a topic.
- Learner Led, which fosters a environment where students co-design their learning experiences and take ownership of their learning through self-monitoring and assessment.
