A number of "do's" and "don'ts" are offered that could be helpful to teachers working with the culturally different. Briefly summarized, the suggestions are: (1) Understand that there is no such thing as a culturally deprived child. (2) Understand that the language or dialect the students speak is as perfect a linguistic system as the teacher's standard English. (3) Understand that different cultures may share the same moral values but express them differently on the surface. (4) Remember that different cultures use different strategies for sanctions and rewards. (5) Be consistent and explicit in your own behavior. (6) Reassess your ways of interacting with the students. (7) Reevaluate kinds of assignments. (8) Demonstrate your respect for the other culture. (9) Be alert to the possibility of contextual constraints in the teaching situation. (10) Don't write off outrageous student behavior as typical of the other culture. (11) Try not to take all the advice given by experts too seriously. (PM)
