An excellent way for teachers to create an inclusive environment is to subtly encourage their students to ask questions and engage in class discussions. To help foster inclusion between students, try having class discussion or small group activities that require pairs or groups of students to come up with a common opinion or conclusion, this allows those who may have opposing ideas to find compromise which can lead to further understanding. Providing student led instruction activities also encourages engagement across all students which includes those from different backgrounds.

By speaking kindly to and recognizing the unique contributions of each of your students, you can create an inclusive environment. Furthermore, emphasizing similarities among students and encouraging collaboration on tasks will help them learn to appreciate their shared humanity, thus discouraging taunting or exclusion of classmates based on perceived differences.
