Culturally Responsive Classrooms
In chapter 2 we learn the importace of our culture, how we can adjust culture in our school, educator must know that culture reflects what we are, chapter 2 explains culture as beliefs, custumsm and lenguage. Culture consist of learned ways of acting, feeling and thinking. How cultures differ? Culture differ in their details from one part of the world to another. Michael Oleksa said: " Likens the system of deep culture to the rules in a game such as American Football." We had to understand every culture to adjust in our schools, so studets can felt comfortable in school. The Cultural Responsive Model are elements of cultural responsabilities that educators must apply. Educator must teach students strength and needs, knowing their backgroud its a first step to help them. "All children deserve a equal access to literacy and to good literature." Every children had the right to had education no matter the races.
I love your ending. I am a firm believer of equal education exposure for not just race, but learning levels as well! We need to speak up for our little ones in our classrooms. Exactly, knowing their background is critical to a child's potential relationship with the teacher and their attitude towards school and others! Great point!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture!!! I also believe equal education no matter what the situation is, your culture, rich, poor, disablilities, etc. It is very important for all educators to get to know each student, and also it is important to know what works best for each student.
ReplyDeleteI love what you have to say about chapter 2. It seems that you really understood the concepts behind fostering a culturally responsive classroom. What have you found in the area of books, authors, and websites for your author profile. The goal is to find books for your classroom that will promote literacy in a positive culturally validating way. Keep up the good work.
