The foundation of classroom management and effective teaching relies on creating a safe and

welcoming learning environment in the classroom for all students. Multicultural education

Louise Damen defined culture as the “learned and shared human patterns or models for living; day-
to-day living patterns [that] pervade all aspects of human social interaction. Culture is mankind’s
primary adaptive mechanism.” Individuals from varied nationalities, ethnicities, and races all bring
cultural traditions to their interactions, and it’s up to teachers to recognize, celebrate and share these
different perspectives. When implementing strategies that will create a multicultural classroom

beliefs, and perspectives of people from different cultural backgrounds.
