AbstractGlobalization’s impact is evidenced in the dramatic growth of linguistically diverse pupils (LDP) in public schools who face great obstacles in acquiring the Chinese language. Their teachers also lack the self-efficacy to teach Chinese as a second language. An innovative 4-step cyclic professional development model, have been introduced to equip 70 teachers to improve the Chinese learning of these children. Involving in Professional Development Talks, Reflection and Workshop, Observing & Coaching, and Sharing the Practice, these participants showed an increase in their Culturally Responsive Teaching Self-Efficacy (t = 3.215, p<.01). Network Analysis on teachers’ dissemination revealed that they were able to connect theory and practice. This model shed light on equitable educational opportunity for LDP in learning Chinese as a second language.
