Encourage family involvement

Embrace cultural diversity

Collaborate with community organizations

Strategies:

I would have parent workshops on different subjects like Reading, math and other areas of interest.

I would also would reach out to families by having a google number where they can reach me along with my email in case they have questions.

I would also reach out to various community groups to help set up events for families and have the diverse groups be in attendance so if there is a language barrier we would have the help.

Demonstrate a genuine interest in your students daily life.

Establish a safe space for learning.

Use inclusive language.

Strategies:

At the beginning of each class I would have students tell me something good that has happened or what they did.

I would have students sitting next to people that they normally would not see or speak to on a daily basis.

Instead of using you or I statements I would use we statements.

Student Centered- Centers learning around individual needs, interests, and learning styles.

Inclusivity and Equity- Creates a learning environment feel a sense of belonging and are given equal opportunities to succeed.

Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity- Encourages teachers to understand and respect the diverse cultural backrounds of their students.

Strategies in the classroom- Having different students who normally would not work together be paired into groups to work on different assignments.

Having students pick their assignments based on areas of interest based on the lesson.

Giving everyone proper time and having each student focused on the presenter or speaker without being interrupted.

Having students think outside the box on assignments and have them choose topics they normally would not research.

Students work on extended projects that allow them to apply knowledge.

Service Learning

Students engage in community service activities that connect their learning

Theme Based learning

Having students focus on a certain theme or topic.

Fusion

Combining elements of different subjects to create a new, integrated learning.

Having my students do projects on topics such as the civil rights movement in Selma Alabama in 1965 and even the BLM movement after George Floyd gives them the opportunity to learn about the history of racism in America.
