So much attention has been placed on changing the teacher and student relationship in terms of having the students engaged and the teacher as a guide but I don't believe this mentality as changed public opinion about teachers and our role, we are not always viewed as people who are willing to listen and not judge and believe that parents play a very important role in education and need to be heard

However, what keeps teachers in the position of expert evaluator is the fact that school culture itself is focused on grades and test scores.

The more we can validate the whole being of the student (and of course their family) the better off we might be to teach them.

I remember learning once that different generations have different ways of responding to diversity.  At one point tolerance was key.  Then it was acceptance.  It is currently to celebrate, but my prediction is soon it will be to "join in" and "get involved" with different identities.

I would love to include more cultural texts for my students, but with lack of funding and little choice, we often have our hands tied.

With the various cultures represented in any one classroom it is important to use them all to create wholistic funds of knowledge.

The students' life outside of school makes up the majority of their understanding of the world, and being able to tap into that as a student positively affects the learning process.

Funds of knowledge - "a filter" through which students are learning

Just think about people you have met throughout your life (I'm not even talking students here) and how their family seemed very different to yours.  Important to keep in mind when teaching students and the multitude of experiences they bring to the classroom.

From the video it seems that a great deal of the funds of knowledge idea is having empathy for students and those in the educational process and to meet them where they are at to help everyone achieve.

the teacher's funds of knowledge and willingness to be open with students and recognize their funds of knowledge create an environment with positive rapport and mutual respect that fosters learning.

Determining what those funds of knowledge are at an early age can be of great benefit for the teachers, to be able to better apply their skills to their students' experiences

I'm struck by the list! They are all factors that impact funds of knowledge, but not the ones I think of most readily....for example I thought religion or family education would have been listed.

This question, at the end of the post got me to thinking about an activity that I was fortunate to discover some years ago.  It's called a "Who Am I? Monologue".  All of my students for the past 10 years have written a 3 to 5 minute orally presented monologue.  They are to try to answer that question, "Who Am I?" in a monologue.  I am able to gain so much valuable knowledge from them! It helps to create a class culture of respect where every student feels valued.

I think this helps add to the it takes a village mentality of raising a child. There are knowledge sources everywhere and it is important to utilize them. They can help guide the context of student learning and push them forwards

I really like this. You're connecting with that child's whole life. Has to have a massive impact on learning.

Funds of Knowledge is almost like a currency. How much does each student have to use based on the individual's experience. It is also affected by the teacher's funds of knowledge and how much he/she is willing to learn. It seems it's a two-way transaction of teaching and learning.

This really highlights our complexity. For students sometimes they dedicate a massive amount of effort towards their cultural/social communities. Maybe we can apply that to what we do.

In my experience, an effort to reach out to the students' parents or guardians often creates such an open communication and mutual respect. Everyone wants to connect.

Activities are geared to allowing the teacher to get to know the student. Which will also help the student feel connected to the student.
