Abstract	Jodi Fletcher is a teacher on special assignment in curriculum instruction and assessment for Falcon School District 49 in Colorado. Serving about 12,500 students across 16 schools, the district encompasses the northeastern portion of Colorado Springs and the rural area of Falcon. About 30 percent of students in the district are from military families, which Fletcher points out is "a culture of its own." Three years ago, spurred by concerns and complaints from parents, she teamed with Martina Meadows, an English as a second language (ESL) lead teacher, and positive behavior support coach Martha Clingman. Their job: Create a more welcoming environment culturally. The committee turned to the Teaching Diverse Students Initiative (TDSi). TDSi helped take the group beyond its initial efforts to merely change school and district policy. TDSi is a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, done in partnership with the National Education Association and the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education. It gives rural educators the tools they need to do the job in helping children of color. (ERIC).
