Culturally Responsive - TFI 1.9 Elaboration
Teams involve students, families, and communities in the development and use of acknowledgement systems in order to create systems that are meaningful and authentic. School teams consider the culture of the students they serve when designing recognition systems (e.g., opportunity to share success with friends). In addition, teams and school staff understand that learning a new skill requires additional reinforcement, particularly when habits are already formed (e.g., when teaching code-switching). .
