- The classroom teacher could contact administration in order to notify of students intent to display posters within the school in order to receive approval. Followed by informing the care taking so they are also aware (*Some school’s require stamps of approval in order to be displayed posters throughout the school).

- Another way to further learning and understanding is by having discussions with students, develop assignments or other ways to deepen students understanding of issues and promote awareness within the school.

It can help to establish positive rapport with students, and provides teachers with a chance to engage students in a different setting and variety of ways. All of which can be transitioned into the classroom, creating a more conducive and understanding learning environment.
 
- Self-reflection would allow the teacher to revisit, contemplate the issue, revise and improve on previous practices.
 
    - Collaborate with other peers. Being a new teacher referring to colleagues for advice and coaching, teaching practices, and assessments would help with time management issues. Furthermore, it would allow the teacher to properly focus on both teaching and coaching.
 
- Another way to improve on teaching practices is to utilize various forms of assessment (both formal and informal). This strategy will accommodate not only the teacher but students as well.
