What do you like about learning to be more culturally responsive?

Answer 1

Learning to be more culturally responsive can be challenging. The aspects which makes me feel uncomfortable in this learning process includes:

• When there are only few students of a different culture in a classroom, it would make one feel that their culture is not given importance or preference.
• If the teacher is of a different culture then he or she might lack of knowledge of my culture and will make me feet that the teacher is not equipped enough about my culture.

The worst thing that might happen is that the method is understood wrong by the student if they are few and still face a level of hesitation in learning the culture which is prevalent in the class.

Things that I like about culturally responsive learning:

• Elimination of discrimination among different cultures and promotes the feeling of oneness.
• Improvement of good interaction between students and student- teacher.
• Enhancement of social- emotional learning.
• Provides opportunities to discuss about different cultures and practices in a comfortable manner.
