As a new teacher, the initial excitement of lesson planning and sharing knowledge can quickly be overshadowed by the harsh reality of classroom management. Disruptive students can derail meticulously crafted lessons, leading to a feeling of helplessness and frustration. 

Through culturally responsive teaching, New Jersey teachers can help create more diverse learning experiences for their students. To assist with connecting educators with AAPI heritage resources, Rutgers Alternate Route has rounded up some engaging content ideas to incorporate into classrooms. 

For decades, education has relied on a familiar structure: lectures delivered in classrooms followed by homework assignments completed at home. 

However, as technology advances and new pedagogical theories emerge, educators are increasingly exploring alternative methods to engage students more actively in the learning process. One such method gaining popularity is the flipped classroom model.

Creating an inclusive classroom environment is required of all teachers, but continues to be a multifaceted challenge, especially for new teachers. As educators strive to accommodate diverse learning needs, the journey often calls for innovative researched-based strategies, empathetic approaches, and collaborative efforts.
