contexts.
One of the teacher practices that I implement to contribute to the improvement of my community is to develop
culturally responsive classroom to foster a collaborative environment. Creating a culturally responsive classroom
allows teachers to understand the different cultures student bring to the classroom, while recognizing and valuing
individual student strength and needs.

Another practice I implement is to seek advice concerning strategies that build relationships with parents/guardians
and the wider community. It is imperative that teachers understand how factors in the students’ environment outside
of school may influence the students’ life learning (INSTASC)

The key to improved student learning is to ensure more good teaching in more classrooms more of the time. The
most powerful strategy for improving both teaching and learning.
