2 Introduction: In today's educational landscape, the shift from teacher-centered to a learner-centered instruction is made possible because of a significant shift in pedagogical approach, emphasizing the importance of meeting the diverse needs of students all within the classroom. Brown (2003) highlights this change, noting that such a shift is crucial for improving learning outcomes in diverse classrooms. This approach aligns with the increasing emphasis on inclusive education, where educators are encouraged to adopt strategies that accommodate the varied learning styles and backgrounds of their students (Vanderbilt, 2024). Additionally, the role of teachers in diverse classrooms has evolved from being the keepers of knowledge in a sense, to the actual facilitators of learning, adapting their teaching methods to support the unique needs of each student. Forghani-Arani (2019) explores this role, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities that come with teaching in diverse settings. The integration of diverse perspectives and the adaptation of teaching strategies are essential for fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment. The switch to a more learner-centered curriculum and the emphasis on inclusion reflect a broader educational paradigm shift. This approach not only acknowledges but also values the diversity within classrooms, viewing it as an asset rather than a challenge. The adoption of such practices ensures that all students have the opportunity to succeed, thereby preparing them for a multicultural world.
