Case: Food and Holidays
My school principal told all the teachers at my school at the beginning of the school year that because of the recent changes in the demographics of the school, we had to develop and implement lessons that were Culturally Responsive. I had heard of the term "Culturally Responsive", but I am not the most knowledgeable person about it. So, I did lessons on holidays and traditions in different cultures. I had some lessons on food favored by different cultures. When appropriate, I brought guest speakers to my classroom. The other day I was having a casual conversation with the school principal and she asked me about how the culturally responsive teaching was going. I told her about the things I have done. She said I got it all wrong. I was shocked and hurt by her comment. How am I going to develop and implement culturally responsive lessons? I really do not know. What is wrong with my holidays, traditions, and foods? I thought I was doing a great job. By the way, I teach 4th grade and I have mostly Black and Hispanic children.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think you did a great job. I don't think you did it all wrong, but perhaps you could have added to what you were already doing. What about having students who have a different cultural background in your class do a fun presentation of their culture and what they do during the holiday time? That way students are getting involved, and they are taking part in educating others about different cultures. You could also have students pick a country they want to research to find out what they do to celebrate the holidays. Then they can do a presentation and learn something new about 20+ different cultures! |
