Teaching them to respect, understand and appreciate the experiences of others and their culture. Celebrate their cultures using diverse learning materials and addressing instances of bias prejudice.

Make sure all students are visible to the teacher and making sure there is adequate space for moving around.</p></li><li><p><strong>Inclusive Language Practices</strong></p><p>If you you're not sure about a person's identity, or what their background is, ask and never assume, it could be hurtful, focusing on the person not their characteristics. Be careful that people may share the same experiences can have different worldviews, utilize resources and tools that offer inclusive language use.</p></li><li><p><strong>Establishment of Community Norms</strong></p><p>Establishing the rules for the classroom or the community, this shapes the way individuals relate to one another, if they know what to expect from each other, it makes things run smoothly toward shared goals.
