I think a teacher should take coursework or workshops on the different cultures represented in the are in which they are teaching, or plan to teach. Understanding cultural diversity is a good beginning. Then, adapting teaching styles to learning styles present in those particular cultures is the best approach

diversity just means differences---whatever they may be. This includes learning styles
