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.
