Create a classroom learning community. Encourage learners to care for
one another and be responsible for each other inside and outside of the
classroom. Provide consistent routines that help learners feel valued and
safe, and accountable to one another. Design a safe and welcoming
classroom environment.
It is important for a teacher to also acknowledge the indigenous knowledge
that learners may have learnt from home. The indigenous knowledge can be
used in certain lessons, for example, in Physical education the CAPS
document states that term two of the curriculum must be inclusive of the
learners’ indigenous knowledge. When learners present they are allowed to
wear their traditional attires.
