Teachers can build an inclusive learning community by creating an emotionally safe classroom environment. This involves affirming students' accomplishments without competition, encouraging self-confidence, allowing risks without penalty, and providing thoughtful feedback. Positive teacher-student relationships are also key to fostering emotional safety. Problem-based and project-based learning are approaches that engage students through authentic, real-world tasks with multiple possible solutions. The POCD model outlines a process for addressing problems: identifying the problem, brainstorming options, considering each option based on research, and deciding on an action.
