Asking questions, looking into other perspectives and reflecting are why I picked this. When using these we are able to listen and take the Information to then learn or understand about others and improve how we communicate with one another.

Cultivate awareness to bias

This is meaning that we should learn about our won internal bias and find ways to remove that. Learning about these bias allow us to improve interactions with others who are different and allows for communication to be made successful.

Developing cross-group friendships

laxkid360 — 2025-03-27 15:53:50 UTC

This may be deon with the students but is mainly the teacher. The teacher forms relationships with others outside of the classroom and daily life. This will hopefully translate to the students and push them to make more cross group friendships themselves.

Incorporate high impact learning activities

This is the process of having students work on assignments that go to a personal level. This allows them to share with others and learn about others at the same time. This helps them develop to be socially aware and be less likely to discriminate.

Develop community partnerships

This allows the students to engage in a real world setting and be introduced to various cultures or socio economic statuses. This also gets the students involved in their communities which will help them learn about others and be more accepting.

Collaboration and peer support

laxkid360 — 2025-03-27 16:04:37 UTC

The use of collaboration allows the students to work together and learn about one another in a safe space. They can also provide help or share with one another resources they have which in turn will help them realize to not judge others for what they do and do not have.

Engaging with parents or guardians

laxkid360 — 2025-03-27 16:13:01 UTC

The use of this will allow a teacher to get familiar with the parents of students and how home life is. This will allow the teacher to reach out with questions and concerns and ensure they re involved in the students education.

Present information in different ways

This will allow multiple methods of conveying information and in turn will help all students in the classroom learn in ways that help them the most. This will also help students who may struggle feel as though they belong and are a part of the classroom.

Advance skills and understanding continuously

laxkid360 — 2025-03-27 16:24:27 UTC

This seems to be common sense but as a teacher we should always improve how we teach or think. We should always be researching and learning the new methods or instruction forms to better reach students and how to understand the increasingly diverse student population.
