Another element I would use is family style snacks and lunch. I would arrange the tables so that they face each other, meaning the students can see both teachers and other students. Finally, I would include culturally appropriate topics in my classroom. For example, I would teach customs from other cultures (greetings, food, etc.) to all students and make reasonable accommodations for the individual students and families. In conclusion, my classroom will be arranged in positive manner, I will address individual student needs, and will teach all to respect different

I enjoy teaching right now, but I think that when being a teacher will be my full time job, then my opinion about my teacher identity will change more.…
