I have learned that cultural competence includes cultural differences inclusive of language which could greatly impact the comprehension of the students we are teaching. This lesson also highlighted the importance of being aware of those differences to not negatively impact any of our students and to not allow any other student to negatively impact a student who may have cultural differences.
I learned how to effectively integrate students from all cultural backgrounds and with diverse races. Even though some of those classifications are societal constructs, we should acknowledge the particularities of each learner and design our instruction accordingly.
Everyone is different so we have to learn each one's cultural differences. Teachers must encourage respect and inclusion and model it as much as possible.
Learning to communicate "inter" rather than "cross" help validated differences and not ignore or devalue them Becareful as an instructor, not to deflate or undervalue identity, this can lead to lack of confidence, underachievement and even failure.
Inclusive classrooms are those in which instructors and students work together to create and sustain an environment in which everyone feels safe, supported, and encouraged to express his/her views and concerns.
Race is a social construct and can be used to minimize the full potential of every student by focusing on the externals. As instructors, we have note that they have different races/cultures, understand how they may have experienced that, and then strive to be inclusive to them
Race is a social construct. Culture refers to the differences in people's backgrounds. Try to be as inclusive as possible.
It is important to treat students with the same level of respect and understand there may be differences in their experiences based on race or culture.
I learned the importance of why intercultural communication is important for instuctors and how if used correctly it will not eliminate any students.
It can be challenging to teach the learner from another country or even state, so it's up to us as educatoers to adapt our teaching methods to reach these particular students
This brought home the concept to know your student culture in order to present your coarse material effectively. They will better understand the concepts if you are coming from their point of learning.
You must get to know the student culture in order to present material so the student can understand the information you are trying to get across to the students, they must see it in their lives.
This module emphasized theneed for intercultural communication vs crosscultural communication, which again, relies on getting to know our students individually and respecting their differences and analyzing and adapting our teaching and communication methods to ensure that they are as inclusive as possible.
I like to use student stories and experiences in the learning journey
It's best to be inclusive and consider the culture of each student.
I have worked in many contexts, and all have been multicultural experiences. Much of my work was in a racially homogenous area, but even there, the cultural differences between socioeconomic strata were clearly established. Even with a dress code to create a sense of similarity, the norms between classes were apparent. And familial expectations varied based on experiences and survival needs. In my international work, the racial diversity was apparent, and the freedom to individualize instruction between students was tremendous. It's all about recognizing the value of the individuals within the learning communities and emphasizing a sense of commeraderie that allows learning to become a shared endeavor.
I am aware that there are many cultures that exist in our society. Individuals from different backgrounds may have different values, norms, religions, languages, and so some students may need more time to understand or respond to instructions. As a teacher we need to understand to treat each student with bias.
This lesson will be referred to often. Thank you.
Race is a social construct. Culture is real life experience of people, such as language and heritage.
As instructors we must communicate effectively, use language that is inclusive to all cultutures as it impacts students' learning outcomr.
