I think that the best way to do this is to teach your natural curriculum but then you also must allow to focus on some of these diverse cultures every once in a while and allow for these students to tell their own personal experience to make them feel important.
I think this is where your own creativity plays a huge part in your teaching. Simultaneously you need the ability to teach core curriculum while interjecting with real life experiences, activities, while also creating a safe atmosphere. There is a time to be focused on core curriculum and a time to be the teacher your student needs whether it be a friend, mother, father whatever.
I think a balanced core learning with all these aspects is crucial in the education world. Being able to incorporate these in a curriculum should not be that difficult. I agree with Chris, letting the students be able to share a personal experience with the emotional and even the multicultural experiences does make them feel important. No matter what we do as educators we should make our students feel important everyday. The day we make them think they are not important we lose them.
