This study aims to examine the role of teachers in getting fourth-grade students at MI Darul Ma'arif Numbay used to respecting differences. In a diverse social context, the attitude of respecting differences becomes crucial in character education. This study uses a qualitative approach and collects data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that teachers play an important role as role models, facilitators, and motivators in instilling tolerance among students. Teachers carry out inclusive learning, give all students the chance to participate, and form diverse study groups. This habituation process is carried out continuously through interactions in the classroom, guidance, and a school culture that supports values of tolerance. As a result, students make progress in appreciating opinions, accepting differences, and cooperating with friends from different backgrounds. The findings of this study show that the teacher's continuous activeness greatly influences shaping students' social character and creating a harmonious learning atmosphere.
