This kind of involvement really is a prime example of how Esme motivates her students. They are countless examples, like the thinking cap, the time machine, journals, the math dance, reading aloud, free choice reading times, and conflict resolution meetings.
2. Esme dealt with the cultural differences in her classroom by making the children aware of them and proud of them. For example, Esme was able to make a young girl, Akila, comfortable and proud of her culture by wearing the sari that was a gift from her. It is this kind of involved behavior that led Esme to creating such a harmonious environment despite all of the racial and ethnic differences. She also dealt with these differences by teaching her students how to resolve conflicts without losing their tempers. She taught each of them not to argue about things of the past, but discuss what they want for the future, giving affirmations afterwards that everything has been resolved. There were a few examples in the book of the success of these methods. Teaching them to resolve these conflicts calmly helped to create unity among culturally "different" students. It was also obviously important that Esme did not fall under the spell of thinking that the students" bad behavior was because they are black. She had a conversation with Mr. Turner when she was frustrated with the wildness of some of her students. His answer was to blame it on their race. It is crucial in motivating a multicultural classroom, that the teacher believes that there is hope for all the students. If Esme accepted it as okay that the black students were rambunctious, she would have never succeeded as a teacher.
