Cultural Humility
Students have a variety of beliefs and values. It is important for educators to be aware of and respect students' worldviews, realizing we can never truly understand another's culture.
Safety and Predictability
A sense of physical and psychological safety helps to prevent a stress response, enabling students to concentrate and engage in learning.
Empowerment and Collaboration
Students need to have feelings of competence and validation that their voices are being heard.
