As a TA, this one is hard for me. I work in a rural, predominately white, low income district. In the classroom that I am in we make sure that our students know that it is a safe place for them and that they can speak their mind. We won't judge them and will be honest and open with them at all times. We offer a "giving closet" in our classroom where there are clothes and snacks for them as needed. Our school also offers a "giving closet" for and a diversity club that is all inclusive and has been well attended.
