Through the conversation I noticed how we swung from race to culture and back again depending on whether we were talking about physical appearances or not/or sometimes both. I am reminded that often we do not know our own culture so how can we ask students to explain theirs to us? In particular seeing that most of our culture is hidden or ingrained.

These values have to extend to society. As we are able to teach these in the safe environment of our classroom, can we effect change at the systemic level and help design the larger environment for all?

Media, marketing and consumer culture play into the ideal of monoculture and keeping diversity at the fringes.

School can have a hugely positive impact on opening the minds of students who might come to school with stereotypical/closed/racially charged mindsets

Complex AND Complicated - much more discussion needed.

Culture is fragmented, racism is decentralized

There are a lot of emotions wrapped up in conversations like this. It can make us hesitant to engage in these conversations.

Current events do change things. People are being treated differently as a reaction to the current climate. (i.e. Muslim students feeling on the defensive due to current events)

We also have to acknowledge the realities in Canada. Systemic racism exists. It can be pervasive and can be passed down to students. How do we address this in the classroom in a way that stays with them when they leave? Our curriculum is also laden with value - how do we address this?

Does a child's ability to see difference change with age?  How does a teenager's perspective and need to self-identify change their relationships with others?

# data[].attributes.body
Students might not notice diversity or differences as much as we do.

Another interesting perspective...brilliant artwork....does it help or hurt understanding, though?

Over-focussing on diversity can work to separate us instead of unite us when pointing out how we are different instead of or more than how we are similar.

Stereotypes can negatively impact academic achievement and can be harmful in educational settings. (SAT examples)

# data[].attributes.body
Shutting down the notion of conflict that occurs in diverse settings can result in increased micro-aggressions. (California School Example)

You can only know so much. What are the important things to know and learn to make the place safe for them, physically and psychologically.

Culture is a way to connect. To see yourself in another person.

Cultural Iceberg

# data[].attributes.body
It's impossible to learn every culture. There are unlimited cultures. Culture = experiences, beliefs, backgrounds and values. Even a homogeneous group is not full of inherently similar values. You have to get to know your students as individuals.

# data[].attributes.body
No... It is more about building relationships and getting to know our students.

It is about formative assessment. We grow to learn them as we observe them over time.

Is there time to learn deeply about all cultures represented in our classrooms?

Own our own place in the dominant or non-dominant culture. Name it and frame it.

We can't teach in a microcosm. These values have to be at the school level.

How do we create a culture in the classroom when there are so many diverse values being represented? How do we create common values?

# data[].attributes.body
Take into account experiences and allow students to lead the way. Ask and listen to/for cues from students.

We must be careful to respect the values coming from home - and not to impose our own cultural values upon them.

Some students might have misconceptions about what their culture actually is.

Some kids don't want to share their culture at school and want to keep things separate.  We need to leave it up to them and give them agency.
