“The knowledge children bring to school, derived from personal and cultural experiences, is central to their learning. To overlook this resource is to deny children access to the knowledge construction process.” (Villegas & Lucas, 2002, p.25)

The aim of intercultural learning is to increase international and cross-cultural tolerance and understanding."]]> 2019-08-03 20:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_lee5533/tqknvfhbo4rk/wish/373138575 Intercultural Competence michelle_lee5533 https://padlet.com/michelle_lee5533/tqknvfhbo4rk/wish/373138639 - Intercultural competence takes work and is a lifelong process. 
- As educators we constantly need to be aware of our thoughts and actions, and how this may be received by our students from different cultures. 
- It is critical to take the time to self-reflect and constantly update our practices to be sensitive to the unique needs and differences of our students. 
- Consider the social identities of students as assets rather than as deficits or limitations
