Canyon View Elementary School is fortunate enough to experience one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse populations in all of Irvine. We are proud of this diversity and welcome the unique opportunities that it allows us to incorporate into our educational program.
Canyon View ensures that diversity and multiculturalism are integrated throughout the curricular and extracurricular activities by:
- Using textbooks and instructional materials that adequately present diversity and multicultural themes in positive ways
- Utilizing a variety of instructional practices and auxiliary services to address the needs of diverse student populations
- Staff members use S.D.A.I.E. strategies throughout the instructional day
- An instructional assistant provides English language learners with English language development support to facilitate access to the core curriculum
- English language learners are given instruction in core curriculum using sheltered English strategies
- Using a variety of grouping practices that reflect diversity, including flexible grouping
- Using and employing parent volunteers and instructional assistants from diverse ethnic groups and a variety of linguistic backgrounds
- Facilitating on-line instructional resources and staff development opportunities about diversity and multiculturalism topics
- Providing extended instruction opportunities to all learning subgroups (Northwood Reading Clinic, ALEKS, ACE, Summer School, Lunch-Bunch groups)
- Encouraging all students to participate in school multi-cultural activities
- Identifying instructional materials that feature non-traditional role models
- Promoting equity in leadership roles and job assignments
- Attending district and school site staff development activities (strategies to identify/eliminate cultural, and/or linguistic bias)
- Providing opportunities for parents and student of diverse ethnic backgrounds to share their culture and traditions within the school program
