The first step in making the familiar strange is to take an inquiry stance toward the examination of your cultural identity. We usually ask teachers to investigate aspects of their cultural identity after they have encountered cultural conflict in the classroom, which is often too late (Delpit, 1995). In reality, if teachers want to be successful in their work with culturally diverse students, they must first accept and understand themselves as cultural beings (Marshall, 2002). This self-knowledge acts as a set of reference points that shape our mental models about teaching , learning, and dependent learners of color.
