Best Teaching Practices:
1. Cultural Learning
Multicultural education can be used as an excellent tool in the classroom by including recognition of the contributions of different cultures and build on the students' cultural strengths in the classroom. Developing cultural sensitivity also helps in preventing cultural misunderstandings.
2. Learning Style Differences
Cognitive learning styles emphasize differences in the ways student's process information and prefer to learn in the classroom. Cultural learning styles reflect the variety of ways that different groups learn and interact. The concept of learning styles reminds us that all students learn differently; effective teachers are sensitive to these differences and adapt their teaching accordingly.
