Know their background and culture for better understanding.

It is important to have knowledge and understanding of different cultures and realize that just because with have differences doesn't necessarily make us right. Educate each other on your cultures and embrace the challenges!

2020-04-06 12:36:25 UTC

Listen and observe, allow the student to be courageous. This is a no judgement area but and educational and understanding of what makes us different and being accepting of it.

I think Listening and culture is a learning experience every culture has its own positive and negative in the whole world and we can always learn something and you and apply it to our daily life and be more understanding to others

Figuring out what makes us different and being open to others' ways of thinking.

2020-04-06 12:45:08 UTC

Be open minded with students. All the students are different and come from different places. Treat all as individuals and know they aren't all the same.

2020-04-06 12:46:15 UTC

You have to be truly genuine with others. People can sense a judgmental attitude. Having a true interest in what others think, believe, and care about takes not thinking you're own way is the only way of living.

2020-04-06 12:48:41 UTC

Recognize everyone is different and comes with different experiences. Be open-minded and supportive of their culturals.

2020-04-06 12:54:01 UTC

Love and accept everyone for who they are. Don't be so quick to judge,learn from the other person or culture. Be open minded and be willing to try new things. Have an openness to learn and be receptive and embrace differences.

2020-04-06 12:59:53 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by letting those around me express and share their knowledge and backgrounds. Be respectful and open minded to their differences and encourage others around me to do the same.

2020-04-06 13:05:26 UTC

I can build a rapport and relationship with people by first knowing there are differences in experiences and culture. These differences are OK. Different doesn't make it bad.

2020-04-06 13:09:54 UTC

To educate yourself on the different cultures and accept them as different but just as important and worthy!

I can be culturally responsive by learning about the different cultures of students. When teaching or interacting with them use examples they can relate to which will make it easier for them to learn and more interesting. Always letting them know that we all may have different beliefs but we all have the same opportunities in life and are all the same in being able to achieve what we want if we work hard to reach our goals.

Learning new things and different ways of looking at stuff makes you a better person. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” ~ Mark Twain. To me it seems that the more we focus on how we are different the less we realize how much we are the same.

2020-04-06 13:14:55 UTC

Treat people the way you would want someone to treat your mother.

Love and accept everyone for who and what they are and stop passing judgement on their beliefs and different ways of living.

2020-04-06 13:19:52 UTC

2020-04-06 13:20:30 UTC

Embrace everyone and their cultural background as an asset in your life and to our world. This can create a deeper respect, compassion, and willingness to understand each person you connect with.

understand that all students have different experiences. Having an open mind and not judging, remembering that they are individuals and everyone learns differently.

2020-04-06 13:23:47 UTC

Know that everyone come from a different background with different expectations and you need to be sensitive to some of those things and build an understanding for other people.

Have an open mind...be caring of others beliefs and ideas. By showing others you have an open mind...will help encourage them to have an open mind as well.

Our family is a multi-cultural family. I live first hand how as much as we all think we our are minds are as open as the our hearts, this is not always the case. Our hearts are accepting of differences but sometimes our minds take more time and learning. To be more culturally responsive in our relationships, I love the idea of learning how to be having these "courageous conversations."

2020-04-06 13:34:45 UTC

You need to learn what is the meaning in other peoples lives. Do not pass judgement on other individuals beliefs and ideas! Accept individuals for who they are and embrace them!

I can be culturally responsive by understanding that all people come from different backgrounds, and always respecting those differences.

2020-04-06 13:34:56 UTC

2020-04-06 13:37:08 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by listening and learning from others who come from diverse backgrounds. Over the years I have learned so much from students, their ways of life and how their backgrounds differ from my own. It is a joy to learn traditions and experiences from everyone.

The more you can understand your students, the better you will be as a teacher. Just like the more you understand about people will make you a better person.

2020-04-06 13:39:01 UTC

I think by accepting who they are and respecting them. Each person is different. We need to learn from each other.

strenym — 2020-04-06 13:39:21 UTC

Sometimes it is challenging to respond correctly. When I struggle with this, I think about all of the important things we have in common. Like so many have posted. Stopping and thinking is a nice piece of this.

2020-04-06 13:39:33 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by knowing and understanding that everyone's background and way of life is different. By having this open understanding, you will be able to connect and accept the difference around you and celebrate them.

2020-04-06 13:40:15 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by listening, being open to other ideas and beliefs, being non-judgemental, not immediately jumping to conclusions, first seeking to understand, and not letting my own biases and beliefs get in the way of connecting with others.

2020-04-06 13:40:54 UTC

I

2020-04-06 13:42:00 UTC

I think step 1 is understanding how people act is at least in part a byproduct of their culture. It's important to keep an open mind, dig deeper, don't make assumptions and ask questions. One great thing about CCSD15 is that we're so culturally diverse that most enjoy cultural exchange.

2020-04-06 13:42:10 UTC

Listen to others point of view without judging.

2020-04-06 13:43:59 UTC

Learning about what makes up a person and learning their strengths and weaknesses and building the kids up on those points and that will build the connection with the students that you are working with and people in general.

2020-04-06 13:44:42 UTC

2020-04-06 13:45:53 UTC

2020-04-06 13:47:48 UTC

First of all you have to have an open mind to making a good rapport with the individuals around you! Listen to their beliefs and ideas without making judgments! You have to listen to others and listen as they speak and accept their cultures and beliefs.
Everyone is different and we can learn something new if you listen and accept!

2020-04-06 13:52:09 UTC

Listening while keeping an open mind and think about other factors that affect decision making whether it’s age, peer pressure, or a cultural thing such as eye contact.

2020-04-06 13:55:47 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by being open in my mind and ears as I listen to understand not to respond. Cultural responsiveness is not about responding, but about hearing and seeking to understand someone else's background.

To be culturally responsive and build relationships with the people in my life I must listen with out judgement; with an open mind.

2020-04-06 13:57:42 UTC

And respond by first letting them see that I understand their position.

2020-04-06 14:08:35 UTC

Being Culturally Responsive as I Build Rapport and Relationships.

2020-04-06 14:11:45 UTC

First I need to be aware of my own culture. As I approach others to build relationships I need to remind myself that I will interact with people of many ethnicities, races and beliefs and I can't even pretend to know or understand the elements of all these differences. So in order to build rapport and relationships I need to approach people with an open mind, be a good listener, engage in dialogue so that I can learn about others and accept that others have different views and that is ok.

I try to be open minded and learn from the person.

being culturally responsive would first start from listening completely and then trying to understand the reason behind the particular response with a open mind.

How can I be culturally responsive as I build rapport and relationships with the people in my life?

2020-04-06 14:26:10 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by being respectful of everyone and keeping an open mind. I also think it is important to keep in mind that different peoples culture experiences can be real assets in places like the classroom if it is incorporated correctly, for example.

2020-04-06 14:37:45 UTC

The adults and children I interact with may have a different set of normative behaviors at home vs. in public (at school). I validate those differences by being open minded and by always questioning how my experience as a WAS is not the only way or even the “correct” way to behave.

2020-04-06 14:41:27 UTC

Our classrooms and society are more diverse today and we need to recognize how important it is to include our student's cultural references in all aspects of their learning. I can listen, be respectful and be open minded.

2020-04-06 14:43:01 UTC

Keep an open mind, ask questions to grasp other's views and respect other's experiences/opinions.

2020-04-06 14:43:20 UTC

LISTEN first! Then do your best to validate, affirm, and build a bridge. Ask questions before making assumptions.

Listen and understand that not everyone has the same backgrounds or beliefs, but that does not make their feelings, thoughts and opinions less valid than yours or anybody else.

2020-04-06 14:58:13 UTC

Listen. Think before you speak. Become informed about cultures other than the ones you are a part of.

Make the effort to LISTEN to other people to understand where they are coming from. Realize that the united states today is a country of many cultures. It is more of a "melting pot" than ever before. Be willing to accept other peoples cultures and beliefs. Put aside your personal prejudices and seek to be "color blind" when it comes to other races and nationalities.

2020-04-06 15:03:23 UTC

Being aware at all times that cultural differences exist in all areas of life.

Remember that all ways of being and how one constructs reality is fundamentally a reflection of family, nation-state, language, access to education ( or not), religious practices and paradigms.....literally everything we think of as "normal" is actually arbitrary and merely o reflection of when and where you're born. So everything is an invitation to be explored with a open heart and inquisitive mind.

2020-04-06 15:18:23 UTC

I can be Culturally Responsive by listening first without judging, and understand they are in a different situation and they have a different culture.

2020-04-06 15:20:28 UTC

2020-04-06 15:23:53 UTC

2020-04-06 15:24:52 UTC

2020-04-06 15:25:16 UTC

Listen with out interruptions and thinking before we talk. Make no preconceived sumptuousness.

The UU church on Smith used to say, "Celebrate Diversity!"

2020-04-06 15:28:34 UTC

I think it means that I first need to be aware of my biases, predjudices so that I can put them aside to respond and build relationships.

2020-04-06 15:29:53 UTC

Sometimes I think we don't realize that we carry biases that we aren't even aware of. When we discover what those are, we can be less judgemental and come into relationships with a more open mind.

2020-04-06 15:31:01 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by first and foremost having an others-centered mindset instead of an inward-looking, me first attitude. I can look at people and seek to ask questions from an authentic interest and caring place. We all are unique and have so much to offer each other, if we would just take the time and effort to seek to understand and learn.

Each culture is different, so we should respect every single culture.

2020-04-06 15:35:59 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by not being afraid to have a conversation and listen to others feelings. I can have open conversation about things that can be uncomfortable and accept people for who they are.

2020-04-06 15:47:31 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by not judging others before I get to know their story. I can be open to learning new ideas and beliefs from people who are different from myself. I can be courageous when speaking to be about differences in life.

2020-04-06 15:48:00 UTC

By realizing I have so much to learn from others.There is so much value in the heritage of different cultures. People whose families are steeped in traditions so much different than my own. Learning about their cultures can only add richness to my life.

I can be culturally responsive by having an open mind, by not judging people from differnt cultures.

By talking to people, listening carefully what they are trying to communicate. Basically listen,then you can ask questions, but do not be critical.

2020-04-06 15:49:34 UTC

Always think in a rational way.Respect the individual regardless of culture and religion.

2020-04-06 15:51:30 UTC

Respecting human , animals,and the nature is a part of our lively hood.

Understand that everyone has a story. Suspend judgement, and seek to be a great listener. Embrace changing your paradigms.

2020-04-06 15:51:53 UTC

understand that everyone has a different story and background. We cannot judge based on our background and history.

2020-04-06 15:52:46 UTC

having an appreciation of all shared forms of communication

2020-04-06 15:52:56 UTC

I found it helpful to read that we need to first be honest and reflect on our own mindsets and see if and where we need to make some shifts to move forward to being better able to respond culturally toward others.

2020-04-06 15:55:18 UTC

2020-04-06 15:55:19 UTC

One thing about culture is that you can’t just look at someone and understand their culture. So much of culture is in our beliefs and how we choose to live our lives. It has shaped us and drives how we behave. Therefore, to be culturally responsive, I need to truly strive to understand the deeper reasoning behind people’s beliefs and actions. If you can try to understand what is important to someone, or what drives their beliefs and actions, then you can connect on a deeper, more personal level.

I can be culturally responsive by listening and being open minded.

2020-04-06 15:56:46 UTC

I can be open minded to others and learn about other cultures. I can read articles about other cultures to stay educated. I can watch the news to understand what others are experiencing to stay open minded to what may be going on in their life regarding culture or life.

2020-04-06 15:58:08 UTC

First recognize we must create a shared (conceptual) language that incorporates means and goals that are mutually beneficial and than build trust by advocating for one another and collaborating on updates together. This will allow for compassionate solutions to seemingly difficult obstachles. (IE not sharing same native language)

2020-04-06 16:02:34 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by opening my mind. Freeing myself from control of my thoughts. I cannot judge and understand we all have a different story to tell

2020-04-06 16:04:08 UTC

2020-04-06 16:06:07 UTC

listening and trying to understand others points of view and having an open mind. Respecting others.

Constantly asking myself what causes me to perceive, treat, and make assumptions about people a certain way (could it be my own biases or stereotyping?). Then, I should always try to view people I communicate with through a culturally sensitive lens. (Does this person's culture influence him or her to behave this way? Am I listening to what this person is really trying to communicate or am I just reacting to his behavior because it is different from what I am used to? How can I use the knowledge about this person's culture to communicate effectively and show compassion?)

2020-04-06 16:09:39 UTC

constantly being aware of others and their views. Also being non-judgmental towards others. You never know just what a person has been through in their life.

2020-04-06 16:10:16 UTC

I would get to know them and try to understand their culture and traditions.

2020-04-06 16:10:40 UTC

2020-04-06 16:11:12 UTC

Respect the others. Ask questions as needed to understand the other's background and point of view.

2020-04-06 16:11:44 UTC

Listening and respecting other persons views and understanding. Having an open mind to others and conflate (merge) those ideas/thoughts with my own understandings/beliefs

2020-04-06 16:13:17 UTC

2020-04-06 16:13:21 UTC

First, understand who I am and be open minded. Then, become a good listener,be nonjudgmental, and respect other's similarities and differences.

We can't judge someone else's way of life. If we want to be understood, we have to try to understand others, first.

2020-04-06 16:17:39 UTC

2020-04-06 16:18:04 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by understanding that everyone comes from a different background and understanding their way of living. Help others to respect the way others interact.

Try to maintain an open mind, while recognizing that I may have underlying prejudices that I am unaware of that may color my thoughts and reactions. I need to be forgiving of myself, while trying to identify those prejudices and change them. I also need to ask questions to further my understanding of other cultures. But I also need to realize that my questions, through being inept or unwelcome, may elicit a reaction other than what I intend, and be tolerant of myself and others when that happens.

2020-04-06 16:18:13 UTC

2020-04-06 16:18:29 UTC

Before you can be culturally responsive, you have to no your own biases only then can you be open to understanding and building relationships with others.

2020-04-06 16:20:21 UTC

I think it is important to make sure you are really listening to what another person is saying. It is important to take their own perspectives into considerations and being respectful with their own ideas.

I need allow people to be who they are. To live in and understanding way. To share without imposing. To listen for understanding. To not think I know everything or that I am right but to listen to what others are saying and evaluate and glean truth. To respect even when i disagree.

2020-04-06 16:20:34 UTC

by realizing that everyone is different and accept everyone for who they are.

2020-04-06 16:22:07 UTC

2020-04-06 16:23:11 UTC

I can be culturally responsive by having a mindset of compassion and acceptance.

Understand all people are different. They've had different experiences, education and upbringing. Respect the differences. It is a learning experience that should be enjoyed, not scrutinized.

I think I can be culturally responsive with the people in my life by being open minded, and paying attention to different cultures and their social norms. Being a minority I have always been taught if an Ind. has a question of my culture, I should teach them about it, not belittle an ind.

I can be culturally responsive by learning about the individuals (students and adults) with whom I work. Everyone we meet has a story that shapes the person they are. Some of our stories are similar; others are very different. One thing that leads many of us into education is a love of learning. We can take that love of learning and use that to learn about the people and cultures around us.

People tend to get closer to their similar folks,
I choose the one who thinks like me and probably from the same background to be my friend which is normal but we need to start to be willing to accept different people, different cultural and academical levels and to understand their

identifications. And the most important to SHOW THAT WILL.

be respectful of the differences among the people you are around ,be kind and be mindful of their beliefs.

I can be open to the fact that each person has their own story. We might all have similarities that we share within that story but we all have our own individual twist or personal experience that make it different. We can appreciate listening to each other and learning something new about that person or culture and let their stories help us become a better human being by adding knowledge to our lives and being open to something that might not be what is the norm in our lives.

An interesting lesson might be to have students research something that they think represents their culture and present that to the class. That way the teacher as well as the rest of the students can gain some insight to the different cultures of the classroom.

I can be culturally responsive by creating a comfortable learning environment for all students. This means getting to know students and being sensitive to their traditions, differences, religious beliefs, etc. I would aware of my mindset so I can be open minded and hopefully create a comfortable environment where we can communicate with one another and feel supported and respected.

In reflecting on my personal experiences...I would say being sensitive and knowledgable that not everyone has had the same experiences as I have had is crucial in building relationships. Being selfless with a willingness to always learn from others is another trait I strive for. I love the differences in humanity, it always makes me feel grateful.

2020-04-06 19:06:57 UTC

Approach all relationships with an open mind. Be respectful and engaged, learning who they are, understanding their environment while looking for points of connection and trust.

I can be culturally responsive by first looking within myself and recognizing my own beliefs and attitudes and how they impact my relationships with others.

Cultural responsiveness is a focus on the uniqueness of each student--the moral values that have been instilled in them by their families,their faith and background.

Simply be respectful and compassionate. Understand that everyone has their own thought process and that's ok.

Finding beauty in diversity

2020-04-06 19:45:50 UTC

Different cultures present different point of views and approach of looking at the same thing in different ways. I find that beautiful. Being appreciative of different cultures is how I can be culturally responsive. If there are struggles of others, again, trying to be understanding and compassionate goes a long way than judging others.

I believe being aware of my own biases and lack of knowledge is important when being culturally responsive. It's ok to not always say the right thing, but being open minded and willing to have uncomfortable conversations to learn and grow will help me to connect with people of differing cultures. I think being reflective is essential.

2020-04-06 19:51:16 UTC

Everyone have different view.Being responsive we need to listen and understand. and then you can put your view.

2020-04-06 19:54:04 UTC

2020-04-06 19:57:20 UTC

Listen without judgement. Do not make assumptions. Treat others as you would want to be treated.

2020-04-06 19:57:56 UTC

First thing is that you need be a nice and approachable person.It is difficult for someone who has a different cultural background to mingle with others from different cultures.We have to take the responsibility to be friendly with that person so that he/she does't feel left out.Once we are able to build up that relationship, it will be easy to share our culture with each other.

I can listen more than I talk, remember my own emotional boundaries, and tolerate uncomfortable feelings.

2020-04-06 20:25:44 UTC

Listening to the people in my life and understanding where they are coming from.

2020-04-06 20:33:11 UTC

A few ways I can be culturally responsive as I build rapport and relationships with the people in my life are being open-minded, listening to what they have to say, act and speak with respect, and interact in a friendly and welcoming way. Each individual is unique in their experiences and come from all parts of the world.

Be respectful to other cultures.Try to build up a relationship by being a nice and friendly person.Once the relationship is built up the learning process would be much smoother.

2020-04-06 20:37:34 UTC

We should treat every culture with respect. Be a caring person and listen to each other. We all have one thing in common, We are all human beings!

We shouldn't judge other people and we should be more supportive of them.

2020-04-06 20:46:43 UTC

I believe practicing the 'Golden Rule' is a good place to start - treat someone how you want to be treated. Be open-minded and embrace opportunities for cultural learning.

2020-04-06 20:46:51 UTC

Mutual respect is a key component to being culturally responsive. I hold and maintain an open-minded approach and empathy. Building rapport and relationships entail the art of conversation,the skill of listening,understanding,being sincere and also being aware of disagreement. It requires an active, joint effort and staying engaged in constructive conversation. It is a reciprocal process.

Reserve judgement until the third meeting with someone. First impressions can be WAY off.

2020-04-06 21:07:46 UTC

Don't judge.

2020-04-06 21:07:50 UTC

2020-04-06 21:09:20 UTC

Treat ALL others the way you want to be treated. Period.

Everyone has different ways of acting or thinking. I think that to build rapport and relationships with the people in my life I need to learn about them. I need to learn about their culture, ask them questions about their life growing up and their life now. Most importantly I need to listen and not judge.

2020-04-06 21:16:42 UTC

2020-04-06 21:34:09 UTC

I think i can be culturally responsive by having and maintain an open-mind and to listen and not judge. Once the relationship is built up the whole process is much easier.

I can continue to be culturally responsive by improving my listening skills. I will continue to have a compassionate heart, show kindness and acceptance to all without passing judgement.

2020-04-06 21:44:31 UTC

I think that in order for me to become culturally responsive to an individual or a group of people I must learn and understand what makes them unique, their culture and their beliefs. Also, I must take into account what factors drive their trust. Once I earn their trust I can work on building a strong foundation for a long and lasting relationship.

2020-04-06 21:50:43 UTC

2020-04-06 21:51:17 UTC

I can be culturally responsive with an open mind and open heart. Listening with respect and without judgment would be just the starting point. Following up and following through would be ongoing to continue to build the relationship.

Listen to what other people say and believe in in an open minded respectable manner without judgement.

2020-04-06 22:31:15 UTC

Listening to others and getting to know them. Being open minded to their beliefs and ways of life. I will continue to show kindness to others.

2020-04-07 00:43:15 UTC

I Think treat the person how you want to be treated and have a understanding of other cultures.Be respectful to others around you and in the work place.

Learning to understand other cultures and being respectful, weather you agree or disagree. Each individual is different and unique in they're own way and may have qualities that you can use to help others. So being a good listener keeps communication going as you build a rapport with them.

2020-04-07 00:45:41 UTC

To be more culturally responsive to the people in my life requires, in my belief, REALLY listening first. Digest the perspective and sometimes, the struggles and challenges of others. Resist all judgment as that can only block open mindedness and empathy. Once active, conscious listening has occurred, then carefully, deliberately and thoughtfully respond...in healthy, constructive and positive ways.

by understanding that although everyone may have different traits and unique in our own way, we are all EQUAL. Being different is who we are and should enrich us. Build rapport and relationship based on trust. Never JUDGE.

You need to be a good listener keeping a open mind,no judgement. Remember there is no right or wrong we all have our own beliefs and the way we live our life's .Just be Kind and caring before you Judge anyone, you know you never know what a person is dealing with.

I can be more culturally responsive by listening and interacting with people from different cultures. I can be more open-minded and understanding.

I can be culturally responsive by not being judgmental, having an open mind and heart to things that are familiar and unfamiliar to me

Being culturally responsive is listening and understanding what the students and teachers bring to the table every day. If you connect the words "courageously", "advocacy", and "landing phase" you learn to comprehend someone else's point of view from a complete different perspective which many people are nor capable of doing. You become an advocate the moment you learn by truly listening, to not be judgmental because you want to get to the main point (landing phase).

I see many here using the terms "open-minded" and "respectful". I think those are key terms. I would add "empathetic": try to put yourself in someone else's shoes and understand their situation.

I can slow my mind down and process not only the words but edit my response before I jump in with my thoughts.

I can be culturally responsive by understanding that different backgrounds, home life, beliefs, and other factors can affect how a student learns, or interacts with adults and peers in a school setting.

Seek first to understand. What are the cultural reasons that differentiate various students in a classroom? Try to learn about another person's past/culture.Do not assume that I know why someone looks, behaves, speaks or even eats the way that they do. Be brave to ask respectful questions in appropriate settings

I can listen and seek to understand where that person is coming from -- listen to their stories, ideas and not pass judgment. Their life is different from mine, but that's ok and wonderful! Show that I care about what they are living and saying. Be a person they can come to in need.

2020-04-07 17:27:45 UTC

By listening intently I can form a more appropriate cultural response. I can then look for commonalities and shared opinions that will allow me to connect on a empathetic human level. Listening is everything!

I can be culturally responsive by asking questions to inform myself on how to be respectful to students.

By understanding their culture and life style they are coming from, before making any judgement about them. By doing that it'll make them them feel confident and strong.

By remembering never to judge and remembering other cultures will have different beliefs, habits etc. that are different from yours. Even though you might say the right thing your body language could be saying something different.

Being more open minded

I can try to make a concerted effort to not assume that I understand where a person comes from and how they have lived. I can withhold judgement about those people and respect our differences, trying to take into account their different backgrounds and recognize what mutual benefits those differences can bring to both parties.

Makes me to accept individual as they are and try to help them and understand them better .

To talk with people openly with all people no matter who they are.

2020-04-13 15:38:29 UTC

By having an honest conversation about cultures. What your’s is, what other people’s are, etc. What are their traditions and how is the culture celebrated. Don’t think that you just know, ask questions and open your mind to another’s way of being on this world.

2020-04-13 17:31:51 UTC
