At this point, it is a conversation we discuss when choosing resources...are we selecting novels that reflect the students in our classrooms? Have we "normed" as a class to make sure we all have the same understanding of expectations?

I eat lunch with my students often. An easy way to talk about family culture is to listen to kids talk about the foods their parents pack and help them feel better about eating foods that look and smell different.  Once you build a relationship, talking about differences is easy....and students figure out we're more alike than different.

When working with teachers and students, I always strive to understand from where they are coming, their past experiences, and their "why." Understanding what drives others allows you to best come together and learn from each other

This year I helped Cluster Teachers introduce the cultural frame of reference to their classes during the first week of school with their students. Those frames have been used to get to know our students better and understand more about the backgrounds they bring to our class which will help inform our instruction.

We began our year with a cultural frame of reference. In the upper grades we also participated in a socratic seminar after to really further explore the meaning behind our cultural frame of reference experience. (democratically establishing shared expectations for class discussion helped as well). I think this helped to create a safe environment for students to express who they are and value the experiences and perceptions of their peers. Further, I like to include texts from a variety of narratives to help broaden our students sense of empathy. After attending teachers college Social Justice Saturday, I have also begun to curate a library rich with texts that are culturally responsive. I look forward to using them with the students.
