Using learners’ cultures as a resource: adjusting methods, handling conflict respectfully and working with families and communities so each student can grow from who they are.
Develop your skills
Critical Thinking and understanding
Knowing your own emotions, reactions and biases so you can build trust, stay calm and create a safe space for migrant learners and people in vulnerable situations.
Active listening and observing
Not just hearing, but really being present: noticing body language, asking good questions and reflecting back what the person says so they feel heard and can think things through.
Trauma informed practice for social inclusion and integration in education
Understanding that trauma looks different for everyone, creating safe spaces, spotting warning signs and also protecting your own emotional limits.
Diversity and intercultural dialogue
Seeing culture as a meeting point: understanding differences, avoiding stereotypes and adjusting your communication so everyone feels respected and welcome.
Critical thinking and understanding
Looking at information slowly and without prejudice, so you can adapt your teaching to learners’ context and reduce inequalities in the classroom.
