their students' backgrounds and experiences, teachers can incorporate students' cultures
into their instruction. This helps students feel seen and valued, ultimately improving their
motivation and engagement in learning.

inclusive classroom environment promote positive social interactions, reduce bullying and
discrimination, and foster a sense of belonging for all students. This contributes to a
positive school culture and a stronger sense of community.
By adopting these teacher practices, educators can make a positive impact on their
students and communities, and contribute to the creation of a more equitable and
supportive society.
