Teachers combine high expectations for appropriate behavior and warm teacher-student relationships

Explanation:

With increasing cultural diversity the need for culturally responsive classroom management has become extremely important. This form of management requires teachers to make decisions based on the social environment and culture context considering diversity as an important factor in favor of the institution. Hence, a teacher must combine expectations for positive behavior and create a strong teacher-student relationship in order to counter issues related to African Americans and Latino/a Americans, especially males, where they are punished more often and more harshly than other students, even though they do not commit more serious offenses than other students.
