I had some familiarity with some of these concepts coming into the course, but limited experience and understanding on how to apply and incorporate them into my courses in a meaningful way. This course has been wonderful in that regard. I have learned so much and now have both a few strategies to use moving forward and a whole lot of resources to work through offering me a great many more strategies to try. I can't wait to start working through other courses and then returning to this course again in the future. So much work to do.

It was really enlightening and made me go back memory lane from my childhood and my situation that how the imperial bias can influence people and their lives.

The Danger of Single Story had made me realize how we get prejudiced about a community, culture and race, gender and we assume that is the truth not realizing it our mind accepting any bias without the truth. Helped me to get better understanding of my students.

It was so eye-opening to see that my course content was not as diverse as I thought it was! I'll be updating all summer with more diversity! I saw a Geena Davis film about the lack of women in film, and thought of it often as we explored the under-represented populations. Very cool to see the strategies to increase diversity! Brigitte

The Single Story video was one of the most impactful videos of this course. It really gave insight into how we are all guilty of this.

I had some familiarity with many of these concepts but little understanding of the practical application. This course has been invaluable in bridging that gap.  I have so much more I want to do across my various courses now. I am very excited and anticipate at least a year's worth of work ahead on just this.

I found Zaretta Hammond Culturally Responsive Teaching 101 to be extremely helpful. CRP is an antidote to inequity by design. All instruction is culturally responsive. The question is to whose culture is it responding? Our K-12 educational paradigm is of White Eurocentric content orientation. It was designed to create racial stratification. Connection and trust leads to a feeling of belonging for our students. There is also cognitive neuroscience around sense of belonging. I strongly feel that all faculty should be required to take CRP training.

I learned that we need more inclusive images and access to royalty free materials that reflect our student body.

I loved the flexibility of using that video. We all develop stereotypes and oversimplify our schemas in how we think about those who we categorize as "other." I gained additional motivation to challenge my students to engage in the self-reflection to evaluate which groups they may be oversimplifying.

This training opened my mind when making assumptions about people of another color, race, and culture. It is safe/important to make educated guesses/assumptions before making assumptions.

The video made me think of how we perceive Japanese culture. That in turn led to aspects of Japanese culture that I always knew but hadn't incorporated in the course.  Often we say Japan has a homogenous society. On reflection, that's not true. I explored many of the underrepresented populations in Japan - ethnic minorities, LGBTQ communities, accomplished women.  I discovered ways to share this information with students through the existing course - I'm excited for student feedback. - Joni Koehn

It was an interesting first journey into evolving my curriculum, specifically, becoming more self-aware of my perspective and what my student's perspective may be.

I have to say that even though my masters emphasis was multi-cultural education, I still gained a lot out of this course.  The Excel checklist also helped me to see that people of color are not the only ones who are marginalized.  I added some deaf material as well as more on the mentally ill.

I think that the biggest take away that I have is that all instruction is cultural. I was mainly considering the main instructional aspect when I started this, but this has led me to think a lot more about how my individual interaction with students are affected by cultural bias in instruction.

This was such an eye opening training.  I feel like my eyes were opened to being more understanding and flexible with different backgrounds - whether it is occupation as many of my students work full time or cultures such as religion.  In my research for making my class more culturally relevant, I learned about influences and impacts from cultures and people I would not have thought of.  I'm looking forward to seeing how I can apply this to my class.

Two biggest things:
1. The tally sheet was a big eye opener for me so making sure you have as much equal representation as possible.
2. There are those who need representation but you can't always see it. You can see color. And sometime religion. But LGBTQ, the deaf, or the disabled are things you can't always identify through a picture.
