===The Ithaca City School District includes families from over 70 countries across the globe. Our teachers are interested in creating an intercultural dialogue among colleagues to improve students learning. ===

All children deserve an education that is responsive to their families, communities, and racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. For children to develop and learn optimally, teachers must meet their diverse developmental, cultural, linguistic, and educational needs.

The website is an educational site where all ICSD staff members can access questions about culture asked by teachers and students, interviews with families and children, district demographics and information and resources on cultural competence, language, and religion.
