What is "culturally competent" classroom management,and how can teachers use the approach to help them prevent misunderstanding student behaviors in the classroom?

Truehe culturally competent management approach recognizes that behavior is culturally bound and teachers of children from different cultural backgrounds may wrongly interpret students' actions if they do not recognize cultural differences.Teachers can use culturally competent strategies to guide students.First,they must recognize their own beliefs,biases,and assumptions about human behavior and must acknowledge the cultural differences that exist among people.Next,they must learn more about their students' cultural backgrounds and family norms for interpersonal relationships.Then,teachers must use their knowledge of students' cultures/backgrounds to create a safe and welcoming classroom setting that supports learning,establish high expectations for learning and behavior,communicate with students in culturally consistent ways,develop a caring community of learners,work with families,and use appropriate interventions to assist students with behavior problems.
