In Italy you will be the Italian language learner. Identify 3 things that teachers could do to support your language learning (be specific).

This can be used to support student learning by taking what they know, their interests, and what motivates them and bringing that into lessons where students are able to reach their full potential by meeting their needs.

Deficit thinking is defined as the notion that students fail in school because such students and their families experience deficiencies that obstruct the learning process. This undermines student learning because the teacher does not recognize the student's full potential, therefore, they may set goals that do not attest to their abilities.

Culturally relevant thinking is the idea that teachers cannot underestimate the importance of incorporating the lives of the students in the classroom. IT supports student learning by taking into account what each student likes and tries to accomodate lessons to these interests.

Some implications of parents not attending school in the US are parents being unfamiliar with everyday transactions. Some parents may not question their child's teacher and school because it is unprofessional to do so.
