1. Can I recognize early signs of cultural tension in my classroom or learning environment, both through student behaviour and feedback? (e.g., silence, withdrawal, frequent miscommunication, or emotionally charged interactions)

  2. When a cross-cultural misunderstanding arises, do I respond in a way that is calm, impartial, and focused on resolution rather than blame?

  3. Have I created spaces (e.g., reflection activities, open forums, anonymous feedback) where students feel safe discussing cultural misunderstandings or discomfort?

  4. Am I aware of my own cultural biases or conflict-resolution style, and how these may affect the way I interpret or manage cross-cultural tensions?

  5. Do I intentionally follow up on cultural conflicts to ensure they are not just smoothed over but truly resolved?
