How does multicultural education reflect responsive teaching to help meet the academic needs of diverse student populations?
Multicultural education involves a lot of responsive teaching as you really have to be alert and ready to change your learning plan if you see even one student struggling, you really have to be aware of the different signs students may display if they do not understand, this can be different for all students.

How can multicultural education affect broader social issues that impact our society? (e.g. intercultural communication/relations, prejudice, stereotypes, crime & poverty rates, achievement gaps, etc.)
By having multicultural education implemented early in a childs life it sets a precident for treating others throughout the rest of their lives. If everyone in the classroom is treated equally children will take notice and copy this behaviour and eventually learn to apreciate people's differences which can help them later on in life with work etc. -
What other significant insight(s) have you gained and how will this insight impact your personal/professional life?
other insights i have gained is how much an impact a teachers attitude can have towards their students success. i learned this from the video "a class divided" this video really impacted me and showed me how important it is to always encourage every single one of your students!
