Culturally Responsive Pedagogy by ethan fogel

Acknowledge students differences as well as their commonalities

I think this can be achieved, with careful attention to potential sensitive issues, by allowing students to explore issues through their nationality or a cultural influence in their country.

When asking a discussion question, I like to give everyone a google slide, and allow them to answer the question based on their home country.
**I'm thinking more of geography or cuisine than more sensitive issues like migration

Acknowledge Student Differences and Commonalities:

Each student (or a small group of students) can present a holiday or tradition from their culture. This can include music, dance, food, language, clothing, games, etc.

Probably would work best and most ideally with a small yet culturally diverse classroom

The story of your name activity

Students go home and ask their parents what the story of their first name and last name is. Then they come back and share with the class what that is. After that we talk about the different naming practices around the world. This is a small example valuing the students diversity and exposing them to the diversity around the world. Of course, those values need to be nurtured every day and not just in an activity.

Respecting students' names.

Culture awareness

Being aware of the different languages and behaviours used in class and how it may be offensive to other cultures. What is acceptable in your culture might not be accepted in someone else's.

In my French classrooms we will be talking about Congo Week. I think will be able to share personal and family stories, my experience being Congolese (although somewhat influenced by other cultures)

Expore personal and family histories

When dealing with Chinese students many times the student is doing what the parent wants and not what he/she wants to do.
One of my students is a dancer and her mom wants her to go to college in China but if she does that she can only have a major that deals with dance/music or teaching dance/music yet she is good enough to enter a top 100 University in America. So, culture affects the student a lot more in Asian countries than American students.

One activity I might try is comparing different weather/temperatures from around the world to teach about numbers. Ex: Today, Hawaii is 73F and Canada is 9F
