An important part of teaching a multi cultural classroom is getting to know your students. To truly get to know and understand your students you must get to know them inside and outside the classroom. Getting to know their families and their individual cultures is also important. Students from other cultures may also have different learning patterns, which may cause the teacher to have to readjust the way the students participate in a class. Language differences can also act as a barrier in classrooms. It is important a teacher learns all her students cultures and she treats each culture with the same respect. Creating projects that groups of students from different backgrounds can work on together is also important. Most important a teacher must be willing to embrace all her students and have open communication in her classroom.
There are many different aspects of students that make up a classroom. Some of these aspects are their language, culture, and birthplace. Another is their socioeconomic level, personality types, and their different hobbies and interests. For this reason we need to provide different strategies that will help all students work together in a constructive way. Creating a classroom that respects and welcomes different points of view supports the growth of all students.
