DAYTON, OHIO, UNITED STATES , March 18, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Education administrator Dr. Tasaria Bettis was recently featured in an exclusive article on incrediblethings.com, where he discusses how educational leadership can influence cultural awareness. While American schools are becoming increasingly diverse, there is still a lack of representation in the classroom. As an experienced educator, Dr. Tasaria Bettis claims that a failure to implement cultural education can prevent many students from being successful.

"Instilling cultural sensitivity among students (and even teachers) takes a multi-faceted approach. It's more than just making students aware that their classmates are from different backgrounds — it's about understanding how each child is a piece of a cultural mosaic that pupils and educators alike can learn from."

Dr. Bettis also points out that a lack of cultural awareness often leads to disengagement among various populations of students. He explains that because most curriculums are mandated by individual states, implementing training manuals for education administrators to better address cultural education may help bridge the gap.

Dr Bettis also claims that while most educational changes must come from the top, it is important that principals and school teachers take on an active role in driving forth change. He argues that true change begins with trust.

"Trust starts with acknowledgement: instead of being defensive about cultural awareness gaps in the system, education administrators and educators have to acknowledge there's a divide". He also states that educators need to first examine their own level of cultural competence before passing along knowledge to students.
