Countries & Cultures
As an educator, it is important to understand the cultures of the students in your classroom. This includes being informed about social norms, proper etiquette, and current events that may be of importance. This understanding is an important step in making students feel secure and welcome within the classroom and prepare you for teaching students of a different language or culture. Below you will find a list of the top five countries from which your students will likely have lived. Information specific to each country, and their varying cultures, is linked.
