Abstract

India is a socially and culturally diversified country where children come to school from different backgrounds. The home culture of the students differs from the mainstreamed culture of the school. Here it becomes very important for the teachers to understand the differences. Also, how can the teachers take advantage of student's cultural traits to improve classroom management, student performance, and school-parent relations? In the present paper, an effort has been made to see, how the teacher should manage the diverse classrooms. Some strategies has been suggested which can be incorporated by the teachers to manage the classroom. Also, an attempt has been made to understand why is it important for teachers to make their expectations explicit to students, especially when their students are not from mainstream cultural groups and how can teachers act as cultural brokers in these situations.
