On teaching and learning process teacher should not consider the religion, gender of students, and amount of money their parents may have so that teacher should expect to be treated with all the respect that any human being should receive.

Also teacher should follow the principle of teaching like proceed from simple to complex, concrete to abstract, general to particular, known to unknown. The teacher should be aware with the cultural background of learners in the process of teaching in order to solve the problem easily.

ACTIVITY 3.3

Children from rich family or high socio-economic status may perform well in academic issues compared to the children from low socio-economic status due to the sense that those from low economic status spend less time in academic matters, they account problems like lack of food, academic resources, lack of security and control of their life and the drop-out rate of these students is very high. It is better to understand that, poverty does not present just a single problem; poverty multiplies its impact on school performance such as to grow up in environments plagued by infectious illness like whooping cough and tuberculosis, come to school so tired and hungry that they cannot concentrate much on academic compared to those of high socio-economic status. On the other hand those who come from high social economic status, if they miss intrinsic motivation in academic matters and engaging themselves in bad behavior of using their money negatively likes drug abuse, play with their phones and laptop can score low performance.

The differences which are seen to the students with different cultural back grounds are poor cooperation in which most of them they fail to interact with others because they are feeling weak, due to their historical background and they  think that they have no  any contribution to their  and others  groups. Also they are feeling weak due to the sub-culture, they come from due to language differences, they tend to segregate each other by thinking that one`s sub-culture is better or superior than other. In order to be successful in classroom, you need to increase aware of the cultural variations among your students and especially on the differences within their subcultures.

The difference in teaching majority is that when teacher teaches this kind of group it is easy to create subject content because the majority students are showing common culture, also the school policy, curriculum and instruction normally reflect majority students than minority students. White in teaching minority students, teacher should be increasingly aware of the cultural variations among the students and especially the differences within subcultures.

The difference between teaching boys and girls are depending on the type of subject. For example science subject like physics, chemistry, mathematic and others teacher should give girls more attention and reinforcement for encourage them in learning process in order to be active learner in science subjects, this is because by nature boys receive more attention, disapproval and blame while girls tend to be punished more promptly for aggressive behavior such as calling out answers without first being acknowledged.

 Developmentally in self-esteem the students. The students are differing developmentally on the gender, age, experience, personality and briefs.

 The special needs kids’ teacher should provide for their social and emotional needs encourage creativity in thinking and expression and move them through the curriculum at a quicker pace. In order to archive in the special needs kids Teacher should include learning developmental, communication, behavioral also recognize disorders and are taught how to help children manage or overcome.

The differ in learning ability teacher should give students opportunity to interact with others of similar latent, give them to pursue individual interests, expand their time to need and explore for give them more complex and challenging tasks also teacher should use difference  methods and technique of teaching in order to satisfy the different ability of the students.

In all differences affect teaching, teacher should recognize the diversity whether economic, cultural gender, motivational or others and tale it into account. Teacher should well advise to discover who they are and accept them as they are in class. In classroom teacher should use difference methods of teaching, technique of teaching and learning materials in order to satisfy the students’ diversity.

Cultural differences in the group of people who store things such as language, values, traditions and ways of doing things when a teacher comes into teaching process most consider the culture of the particular society. Don`t teach things which hinder their cultural practices example when to teach in Masai society do not tell them that  it is better to leave on keeping cattle and deal with education matters if will be against their culture so teachers should accept culturally practices.

 Gender differences in this people they have different perception about gender for example many societies believe that boys are active in school than girls. So we as a teacher always promoting equal gender opportunity to our students without discriminating them according to their gender for example teacher putting more emphasize or effort to the boys and less effort girls. Teachers should avoid this situation. Also establishment of simple sex school in order to help girls to pay more attention with subjects
