- Respected students' diverse culture, language skills and experiences
- I was involved in a Roma Project
- For 8 weeks, 12 Romanian women came to class 2 days a week to learn English

- The reason behind this was to encourage the mothers to come to class without having to worry about childcare
- This made the class quite different and challenging
- Over the 8 weeks, not only did the women's English skills improve, but so too did the children's behaviour, as they began to learn acceptable classroom behaviours
- Created material for each class and maximised the use of online teaching resources.
