Background:
Effective classroom management must be culturally responsive and equitable. This means understanding how cultural values, language, and student identities influence behavior and discipline. It also involves recognizing biases and designing systems that support, rather than punish, diverse learners. 

Prompt:
What does it mean to create an equitable classroom management plan? Describe one way you might adapt a rule, routine, or consequence to make it more culturally responsive. How do you balance consistency with flexibility when managing behavior in a diverse classroom?
