  • culturally relevant pedagogy to describe a form of teaching that calls for engaging learners whose experiences and cultures are traditionally excluded from mainstream settings
  • First, teaching must yield academic success. Second, teaching must help students develop positive ethnic and cultural identities while simultaneously helping them achieve academically. Third, teaching must support students’ ability “to recognize, understand, and critique current and social inequalities.”
  • Geneva Gay
  • culturally responsive teaching to define an approach that emphasizes “using the cultural knowledge, prior experiences, frames of reference, and performance styles of ethnically diverse students to make learning encounters more relevant to and effective for them.”
  • positive changes on multiple levels, including instructional techniques, instructional materials, student-teacher relationships, classroom climate, and self-awareness to improve learning for students.
  • Like Ladson-Billings, Gay also places a strong emphasis on providing opportunities for students to think critically about inequities in their own or their peers’ experience.
  • Django Paris
  • culturally sustaining pedagogy, an approach that takes into account the many ways learners' identity and culture evolve

Culturally Responsive Teaching: 5 Strategies for Educators - 6 views

  • Using traditional teaching methods, educators may default to teaching literature by widely accepted classic authors: William Shakespeare, J.D. Salinger, and Charles Dickens, for example, adhering to widely accepted interpretations of the text. Culturally responsive teaching, on the other hand, acknowledges that there’s nothing wrong with traditional texts, Childers-McKee says, but strives to include literature from other cultures, parts of the world, and by diverse authors. It also focuses on finding a “hook and anchor” to help draw students into the content using their past experiences.
  • When integrated into classroom instruction, culturally responsive strategies can have important benefits such as: Strengthening students’ sense of identity  Promoting equity and inclusivity in the classroom Engaging students in the course material Supporting critical thinking
  • 1. Activate students’ prior knowledge.

  • 2. Make learning contextual.

    "There is no single objective way to describe why an artifact is significant to a culture. Objects are important to different people for different reasons. To make this idea personal, students will be invited to bring to class important cultural artifacts from their own lives. Each object will be "interpreted" by a student anthropologist who will make hypotheses regarding the importance of this object. The student anthropologist will also determine what this artifact says about the culture of the owner. The owner of the artifact will get a chance to tell their actual story."

  • Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) is a philosophical outlook towards one’s approach to teaching that informs the what, the how, and the why. CRP focuses on the academic and personal success of students as individuals and as a collective. It ensures students engage in academically rigorous curriculum and learning, feel affirmed in their identities and experiences, and develop the knowledge and skills to engage the world and others critically.  
  • Culturally Relevant Pedagogy equips us as teachers to provide our students with the type of education they not only deserve but are entitled to.  An education that recognizes and celebrates their identities, lived experiences and culture. An education that nurtures their inherent brilliance and infinite potential.  An education that doesn’t set them up to “fit into,” accept or replicate an inequitable system, but one that equips them with the tools to transform it. An education that cultivates strong trunks, beautiful branches, colorful leaves, and deep roots.

  • ways that we can find out about people, places and events that took place a long time ago
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is an example of 4E.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This shows understanding of Standard 4E: "Understand how a students' learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, and prior learning as well as language, culture, and other samples of student thinking." Asking students to brainstorm about the topic they are about to study activates their prior knowledge so they can potentially make a connection between the new material and what they already know.
  • Discuss the responses with the students
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      3G --use a student's thinking and experiences as a resource in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written, and other samples of student thinking;" By eliciting student voices in a discussion the teacher can understand how they relate to the concepts that are being taught today.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Explain that we can also learn a lot by looking at photographs and drawings from the past.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is a little supportive of 4E, by presenting varied nationalities and cultures within the lesson, and encouraging the students to think that they have agency (you can learn alot) to look into their "photographs or drawings from the past" the teacher is demonstrating respect for the diverse backgrounds in the room.
  • would you like to ask
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is also supporting 3G -- "eliciting student thinking"
  • Ask the groups to compare their photos. Ask them to find at least two things that are similar in the two photos and at least two things that are different.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This supports standard 7I, "support and expand learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media" because the teacher is scaffolding experiences for the students to talk to and learn from one another.
  • describe the type of information that they were able to discover from looking at the photographs. (What people looked like, what people wore, etc.) Ask students to share some of the questions that they thought about when observing and comparing the photographs.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      Another example of eliciting student thinking, 3G. Also supports speaking 7I.
  • Kristi never met her father’s parents
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is moderately supportive of 4E. By sharing the story of a person whose family did not have contact the teacher is making more space in the room for learners who also may not have met their grandparents, or parents. ; (
  • Explain to students that different cultures have different ways of passing down information about their past to their children and grandchildren.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This supports 4E, the teacher is establishing that families have different cultural practices which makes more space in the room for children who may have felt that cultural practices in their own family are "weird." This provides space for "difference" as cool.
  • Encourage students to make something to help keep pictures, drawing, letters, articles and/or other information about them and their families.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This supports standard 7I. The students are encouraged to express themselves in a media other than writing and speaking.
  • create their own drawings
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 01 Oct 21
       
      This is another example of 7I because the students are expressing themselves in another medium.

shared by Bill Olson on 24 Sep 21 - No Cached
  • The pedagogy popularised by E.D.Hirsch, and recently promoted by the likes of Civitas, reduces teaching into nothing more than a bleak transmission model of learning.
  • "cultural literacy".
  • But Hirsch's "cultural literacy" is a hegemonic vision produced for and by the white middle class to help maintain the social and economic status quo.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Young people who enter the educational system and don't conform to this vision are immediately disadvantaged by virtue of their race, income or chromosomes.
  • Moreover, teaching a prescribed "core knowledge" instills a culture of conformity and an insipid, passive absorption of carefully selected knowledge among young people.
  • The narcissistic notion that we can help underprivileged students by providing them with teachers who are privileged young graduates from elite institutions is a mistake.
  • Teachers can't ignore the contexts, culture, histories and meanings that students bring to their school.
  • Working class students and other minority groups need an education that prepares them with the knowledge of identifying the problems and conflicts in their life and the skills to act on that knowledge so they can improve their current situations.
  • School leaders have a duty to promote learning that encourage students to question rather than forcing teachers to lead drill-oriented, stimulus-and-response methodologies.
  • Students need the freedom and encouragement to determine and discover who they are and to understand that the system shouldn't define them – but rather give them the skills, knowledge and beliefs to understand that they can set the agenda.
  • The philosophy was first described by Paulo Freire and has since been developed by the likes of Henry Giroux, Peter McLaren and Roger Simon. Critical pedagogy isn't a prescriptive set of practices – it's a continuous moral project that enables young people to develop a social awareness of freedom. This pedagogy connects classroom learning with the experiences, histories and resources that every student brings to their school. It allows students to understand that with knowledge comes power; the power that can enable young people to do something differently in their moment in time and take positive and constructive action.

    This article is an opinion piece about why critical pedagogy is important to teach to students. What do you think the best way to support your underprivileged students is?

      How will you use primary sources in your classroom?
  • gracejohn2021 on 27 Sep 21
     
    I think that primary sources could be really neat to tie into social studies lessons. For instance, you could use a journal entry recounting an event from someone as a primary source, and then learn about that event and have students write what it would be like if they lived through that event. To tie in culturally relevant pedagogy, I think it would be creative to use a journal entry from someone in history discussing a tradition or important part of their culture, and then students in the class can write their own journal entries about their own culture and an important tradition or aspect of it.
