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.

      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.

    What do you think of this homework policy idea? I've often thought that soon we will be able to assign movies as homework and just have students watch a 2 hour movie at home and then process it in school rather than using critical time with them for the viewing part. I know that seems far away for some areas, but in the metro area I think we are getting close.

    It goes back to that 1 out of 100 video. So many people do not have technology whenever they like. It makes me nervous that the more we phase out traditional, and include technological, the wider the learning gap might become? Also, I'm not sure how parents would feel about their children being on the computer or TV at night after school for a 'school' related project. Whether parents capitalize on evening hours or not, that might be the only little bit of time students have to interact with their parents during the day, I wouldn't want to take that away.

    This lesson was written using different state standards. The lesson could easily be tweaked to use Minnesota standards. The lesson allows students to see how their ancestors helped them to be who they are with their beliefs and traditions.

      As teachers how can we honor all of our student regardless of race, disability, sexual orientation, or gender to make them feel empowered in the classroom?
  • the strongholds of racism that are embedded into school systems as tradition or practices that have been the bedrock of schooling for as long as any of us can remember.
  • A truly antiracist learning environment empowers all learners to make decisions about their learning and leading in a welcoming and safe environment.

  • Recognize the power structure that exists—both past and present. Acknowledge the purposeful intent and actions of abolishing the limitations of the power structure at hand. Reflect the code of honor by empowering each member of the learning community daily in the structures, supports, and choices available. Make an effort to invite members of the learning community into positions of authority, power, and decision making—even if that means taking yourself out of power to do so. Create opportunities for members of the learning community to make powerful decisions that govern their best possible outcomes.

diversity inclusion awareness

shared by Bill Olson on 04 Sep 21 - No Cached
  • Inclusive teaching refers to pedagogy that strives to serve the needs of all students, regardless of background or identity, and support their engagement with subject material. Hearing diverse perspectives can enrich student learning by exposing everyone to stimulating discussion, expanding approaches to traditional and contemporary issues, and situating learning within students’ own contexts while exploring those contexts. Students are more motivated to take control of their learning in classroom climates that recognize them, draw relevant connections to their lives, and respond to their unique concerns (Ambrose et. al, 2010).
  • Examine Implicit Biases - Instructors can consider their own attitudes towards students and strive to minimize negative impacts. This process can involve actively monitoring interactions with different types of students, implementing policies like name-blind grading and inter-rater grading to minimize the impact of bias, and maintaining high expectations for all students.
  • Maintain Awareness of Classroom Diversity - Instructors can develop and maintain their awareness and understanding of various racial and socioeconomic factors in their classes, as a way to test their implicit bias, ensure equal access for all their students, and even enrich classroom discussion.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Add a Diversity Statement to Syllabus - Instructors can address diversity issues head-on during the first class session by inviting students to discuss the syllabus in earnest; explaining the teaching philosophy with regards to other inclusive teaching methods; and outlining classroom ground rules for respectful classroom discussions and an inclusive community.

      Another great classroom resource!
  • Visual cues are central to most early childhood education systems.

      This is incredibly true, almost every lesson we will teach have some aspect of a visual. How will we accomplish our lessons without visuals?
  • In a school environment, visual impairments can cause difficulties when it comes to traditional reading and writing activities, reading at a distance, distinguishing colors, recognizing shapes and participating in physical education games which require acute vision, such as softball and kickball.

      Prior to research, when I heard "vision impairment" I would typically think of someone who is blind. Throughout researching this disability I have realized that it is so much more. Something as simple as needing glasses for being near sided or far sided is consider a vision impairment.

  • Tips for teachers working with students who are visually impaired

      Below are some very basics tips to help accommodate your visually impaired students.
  • Children and adults with low vision are not considered legally blind, they simply have reduced vision at or lower than 20/70. Students who are blind have vision that is at or lower than 20/200. Nonetheless, only 15% of students with visual impairments are considered to be completely blind, with no light or form perception ability

      An interesting statistic!
  • Children with visual impairments often start off learning to read and write with the assistance of low-tech solutions, such as high-intensity lamps and book-stands. Sometimes screen magnification and computer typing and reading programs are used. In other cases, low vision students will learn to read using the Braille system over text, or a combination of the two. However, as students progress through early grade levels and reading and writing activities become more demanding, periodic literacy skills assessment is required to ensure additional resources and adaptive strategy instruction are provided to meet their needs.
    • clwisniewski
      clwisniewski on 17 Nov 21
       
      It's good to continue assessing visually impaired students in case they need further assistance.
  • For those students with visual impairments who do not master Braille, making use of technology to facilitate reading is fundamental. In fact, most talented Braille readers prefer to use computers or tablets when reading for fun anyway. And students who learn to use a computer not only find homework easier to complete, but often become faster readers. It is simply more efficient for low vision students to use a computer and word-processor over reading paper books and handwriting. This is particularly relevant at a high-school level, when reading and writing assignments become lengthier and more challenging.

      This could be included in a student's IEP, so they have access to a device that can assist them with reading and writing.
