I see a quote that says "culturally responsive teaching is not a quick fix, nor is it a simple strategy to add into your lessons." I agree because this is something that should be incorporated at all times, not just every so often. This is something learned over time and not something that can be thrown into one lesson. - jess

I think that it's important to acknowledge your culture and consider how it is different from the students' culture. This means that you have to be sensitive to the cultural norms that you have already put in place in your classroom, and whether or not these norms are beneficial or not to your students.

I think that it is important to make sure ALL students feel represented in the classroom. Often times students may feel that they are not represented in literature or lessons so it's important to make sure that everyone is included. - jess

I see a section dedicated to implementing restorative circles with children's literature. They used the book Alma and How She Got Her Name, which involved dealing with names and identities.

The article mentions how teachers can create multiple paths for students to demonstrate their creativity and learning. I wonder if I could use art in a meaningful way in my instruction as alternative option to engage my students.

That teachers feel disconnected with their students because they are unaware of the different cultures. I also see that teachers need to welcome conversation into the classrooms and listen to multiple voices in their classrooms. - Ashley

I think it is important to get to know your students. By getting to know your students, you will be able to understand their culture and what they are going through or have gone through. This will help to ensure all students feel their culture is not forgotten when they go to school. -Geina

this article describes many ways we can embed culturally responsive practices into our pedagogy.  I think  a great suggestion in this article was the restorative-circle practices with the support of culturally relevant children's books.-Diana

I started to think, What do students think a "good student" looks like? Although the response to this question may seem like common knowledge, answers would mostly be similar, but also differ based on cultural backgrounds. -Kristina G

I think it is very important for teachers to really get to know and understand each and everyone of their students. Allow your students to build truth in you by showing them how much you care. We can do this by including different cultures to our lesson plans, classroom libraries, class discussions, etc.

it's incredibly important to make individual time for each student to learn about them and their families. This begins the foundation for CRT and is required in order to make CRT meaningful and accurate.

Hi Sophia! I strongly agree with you. I think that it is important to include your own experiences to make students feel more safe and confident about themselves. Of course they will not have the same experiences but it's important to remind students that it's okay to be different- jess

Hi Jiawei, I think that is a great point you bring up. That is always a hard topic to bring up to parents that may feel strongly opinionated. - jess
