I endeavor to establish and maintain rapport with my students, and among my students, with the goal of creating an environment of respect in my classroom. This classroom culture of respect is essential to an effective learning environment. One of the ways I build this rapport is to issue a short survey the first week of class. An example of a survey is the attached artifact 4b_Student_Survey. In a survey, I ask the students to tell me something about themselves – what name they prefer, what they want to do in the future, their hobbies, interests, favorite color, etc. I then peruse the completed surveys and create name tents for my students. I incorporate pictures or symbols on the individual name tents to reflect some of the personal information the students have revealed. The attached artifact, 4b_Name_Tents, shows a sample of some of the name tents I produced for my students, as well as my own name tent. I read the class roster prior to the first class for the sake of learning my students ' names in advance, and then I use the name tents to help me put the names with the faces. I use the pictures on the name tents to aid my establishment of a personal connection to each student. For example, the name tents in artifact 4b_Name_Tents clearly show that Rod is interested in all sports and wants to be a coach, while Julysa likes to play volleyball and aspires to be a teacher. Knowing these facts gives me the insight into each student that allows me to make personal
their students differences, and learn to value and respect these differences in the classroom. Educators must model positive behavior by respecting and valuing where their students come from. When educators value differences in the classroom, it creates a culture in which everyone can be himself or herself. In order to create this culture in my future classroom I need to acknowledge all of my student’s differences, and I must learn to value and respect these differences.

Introduction
The cultural environment of a school can speak louder than any words. The culture of the school is the life force that keeps the school moving forward and in the right direction. Keeping the environment and culture of the school up beat and positive can be a hard thing for any administrative team to handle. Imploring the correct administration is a very important step in this process. Finding the right administrators that are going to support, listen and lead the faculty of the school
points out that culture learning is a process that should be ongoing in the language classroom, and teachers should let students understand similarities and differences between the target culture and the culture of the student. Relating is important for intercultural competency, that students could relate a culture to another for awareness and respect similarities and differences between cultures. From lesson observations at ACS Cobham, teachers paid attention to designing classroom activities with
from Arab and Muslim culture will bring unique and positive qualities to our classrooms that need to be recognized and valued. Teachers have a strong influence on how comfortable a student will feel in the classroom community. I believe it is important to create an environment where students feel safe to ask questions, share their culture, be themselves, believe in what they want to believe, and be celebrated for their differences as well as similarities. I believe each culture brings forth students
I do agree that classrooms are more diverse. Taking all the education courses that I have has made me think about this. When I was in elementary school I never remember having any wide diversities in my classrooms. My teaching people of other cultures teacher provided us with ELL statistics in the US from last year and all I had to was WOW.
Resiliency. I really like that characteristic. Resilient children do have the upper hand. They can better adapt and not let all the negativity effect them.
Like many non-Aboriginal teacher’s, I have not a considerable amount of experience teaching and engaging with Aboriginal students. My comprehension and learning of utilizing correct terms to describe or speak of culture and worldviews are restricted. Having knowledge and understanding of these tools, is an absolute necessity to a successful teacher to all children and background.

More importantly, it is important that within schools teachers as well as students need to understand one another’s background; such as their culture, race, and ethnicity. For students it prepares them for life in an culturally diverse society. Throughout this paper it is focused on multicultural education in our society.
Multicultural education is a method to instruction that values diversity within the classroom. Multicultural education
effective teacher is respect. The important thing about this, is that to create a culture of learning the students and teachers must respect each other. The teacher has to understand each home culture. The culture of the student practices at home whether that be similar to their own or different. Each child has a different way of interacting with adults. In some cultures, such as Chinese culture, looking down and not making eye contact actually means respect for elders. In Deaf culture you don 't beat
A student respect for a teacher is being constantly shaped how a teacher controls and manages their classroom. Ultimately a teacher must show their student that that they have control of their classroom through effective classroom management. To do this a teacher must maintain and be aware of their attitude I the classroom. “Students are experts at noticing when our limits are being reached and some will take advantage of a teacher if they think they are “losing” it” (Alstad-Davies, 2014). As Davies
them about my culture since I moved to live with them. I can see their knowledge about other cultures and mine culture. They are just seven, but their knowledge about other culture is surprising. For example, Hunter and I talked about Mexican culture and I told him I am Mexican so Are you Mexican or American? and his answer shocked me. He said “I am Honduras” I asked him what do you think you are
