Cultural Competency in Teaching Practices (4 Sessions) Cultural Competency in Teaching Practices (4 Sessions) Objective: KDP members will interact with one another to achieve professional learning that increases educator effectiveness to benefit all students through the development of cultural competency. Background information: Changing demographics in the United States and around the world are marked by significant increases among racially, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse populations. Teachers are challenged to respond with culturally responsive teaching practices that nurture, motivate, and empower students to become knowledgeable, effective global citizens. SESSION ONE Essential question for guided discussion: To what degree is cultural competence relevant to teaching? Engagement Activity #1: “Share Your Thoughts Musical Stroll” – Ask members to write two thoughts on a small piece of paper in answer to the question: What are your thoughts about culturally responsive education? While playing music, direct members to stand and then stroll with a partner while exchanging their thoughts. Each time the music stops, members change partners; when the music starts again, they share thoughts with the new partner while strolling around the room. At the end of the musical stroll, members return to their seats to evaluate the premise below. Evaluate this premise: To design instructional lesson plans for a class of students, a teacher must be a researcher, artist, linguist, content expert, presenter, facilitator, and evaluator. Running across all of these aspects of teaching is the need for cultural competence when communicating and interacting with students, colleagues, and students’ family members. Examine and analyze the P21 Framework for 21st Century Learning (www.p21.org/about-us/p21-framework). Discuss: What is the relevance of culturally responsive teaching to this model? 1 An elaboration of the P21 Learning and Innovation Skills indicates that focus should be on creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration to prepare students for the future. Discussion questions: How does this mandate relate to teacher interaction with diversity in the classroom? What does cultural competence look like? Do you think culturally responsive teaching is a definition for cultural competence? Explain your opinion. How does the P21 Learning Environment engender cultural competence among learners and teachers? Resources: 21st Century Skills Assessment white paper (www.P21.org) Professional Development: A 21st Century Skills Implementation Guide (www.P21.org) The Culturally Proficient School (Lindsey, R., Roberts, M., & CampbellJones, F., 2005) SESSION TWO Essential question for guided discussion: How can teachers help reconcile very different perspectives on White power in American society? Engagement Activity #2: Divide members into groups of three to five people. Provide each group with markers and chart paper. Give the groups 10 minutes to brainstorm and write down examples of White power. After 10 minutes, groups share ideas and then engage in a whole-group discussion of the implications that these examples have on society. Evaluate this premise: The effect of cultural dissonance on teaching practices for underperforming students results from a misalignment of values between school and home. Research confirms the benefit of critical and reflective thinking about race, culture, and power on teaching practices. Cultural competence helps educators improve low student achievement of cultural subgroups. Examine and analyze these YouTube™ presentations. Plan whether these videos will be shown in entirety in one session or over more than one session or, ask members to watch all or some of these prior to the shared PD session.

Which teacher behaviors are appropriate for civic education on the issue of racial and cultural inequality? Resources: Teachers as Cultural Workers: Letters to Those Who Dare to Teach (Freire, P., 2005) Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority (Wise, T., 2012) The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates (Moore, W., 2010) White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son (Rev. ed.; Wise, T., 2011) Other People's Children, Cultural Conflict in the Classroom (Delpit, L., 1995/2006) The Dreamkeepers, Successful Teachers of African American Children (Ladson-Billings, G., 1994) We Can't Teach What We Don't Know: White Teachers, Multiracial Schools (Howard, G., 2006) SESSION THREE Essential question for guided discussion: Why do some people have power and privilege and others do not? Engagement Activity: Divide members into teams of three who share one laptop computer. Teams go to http://perspectives.tolerance.org and set up an account. As a team, agree on an essential question from the menu of questions under the “social justice” category. The team completes the three steps including selecting a central text and learning tasks to support a lesson that encompasses the social justice theme. This engagement activity will take at least 30 minutes. Set a time for ending the development of team lessons. After 30 minutes, stop teamwork regardless of how far along each team has gotten. Set aside another 30–40 minutes to invite teams to share their lessons with the entire chapter group. Examine and analyze how the common theme of social justice was developed in a variety of ways across different grade levels. Discuss what you learned from this activity. Evaluate this premise: It is important to involve students and teachers in learning that raises attention to differences of opinion and ways to move forward that build and strengthen relationships among members of a learning community.

Common Core Standards in Diverse Classrooms (Zwiers, J., O’Hara, S., & Pritchard, R., 2014) Intercultural Awareness in Rural Title 1 Elementary School Teaching Practices (Doctoral dissertation; Wilson Leventhal, M., 2012). 3 SESSION FOUR Essential question for guided discussion: What language are we using that is racially or culturally insensitive? Evaluate this premise: As the United States is now a fast-changing, multicultural nation, citizens are challenging the long-standing cultural norm defined by White Americans. Examine and analyze idioms, figures of speech, and terms used in everyday American English language that are inherently negative about people who are not Caucasian. Examples include: black sheep of the family, as black as sin, calling the kettle black, black list Don’t be yellow (afraid to do something). Brainstorm and discuss pejorative terms that are part of the daily language used around you. Elaborate on outcomes derived from this kind of language. Discussion questions: How can you engage in self-reflection to identify and eradicate your personal language usage that unconsciously denigrates another culture? How can teachers instill culturally responsive communication in the learning community? Which teacher behaviors have you observed that communicate different expectations for students according to their diverse cultural identities? What can be done to change these behaviors?

  • Cultural Dissonance in Basic Writing Courses
    Raul Ybarra CULTURAL DISSONANCE IN BASIC WRITING COURSES ABSTRACT: Understandingwhy Latino students do poorlyin writing coursesis becomingan evermore important issue becauseLatinos are thefastest growing group in the United States. Although we can accountfor some ofthe reasonsfor the high dropout rates ofLatinos, we sh11 do not understand themajority of the factors. 17zesestatishcal realitiesof Latino student concerns wa"ant seriousinvestigahons. Indeed, the prevalenceof failure among Latinostudents in par­ hcular in Basic Wn"ting courses suggests a (dis)connechon - or dissonance- between the cul­ turalbackgrounds and corresponding thought processesof Latino students in the composition classroom. To date, researchin this area is virtuallynonexistent. 17zus, an intensivecase study using ethnographictechniques was cam'ed out to understandhow teaching affects nonmainstream students, parhcularlyLatinos. Understanding, and consequently overcoming, this problem is keyto reversingthe low retentionrates of Lah'nos in the US.. Before dismissing urban, U.S.-bornyouth as lazy underachievers, it behooves researchers and practitioners to first examine the school's role in fostering poor academic performance. Bringing schools into sharper focus, as my study does, reveals that U.S.-born youth are neither inherentlyantischool nor oppositional. They oppose a school­ ing process that disrespects them; they oppose not education, but schooling. (Valenzuela 5) Introduction I have been teaching Basic Writing for over sixteen years. My interest lies in examininghow particular pedagogical assumptions and practices affect the writing performance of Latino students in Basic Writing courses. While teaching writing at California State University, Fresno (CSU), I noticed significant and disturbing demographic place­ ment patterns in the various composition courses. While the majority of students in Basic Writing classes were largely Latino, with a lesser percentage of African-American/Black and Asian, in the Introduction to Composition courses the students were mostly white.

    Are We What We Eat? Food Metaphors in the Conceptualization of Ethnic Groups To Henry E. Darby, The man who has always fought against racism Irene López-Rodríguez (Calgary, Canada) Abstract Speakers of English often understand ethnic and racial differences in terms of food imagery. It is quite common in this language to encounter metaphors presenting different groups of people in terms of beans, rice, bread, cheese, apples or chocolate. Given the cognitive and social force of metaphor in our understanding of the world and of ourselves as well as the important role language plays as a channel through which ideas and beliefs are transmitted and perpetuated, such food images may offer a window on the (de)construction of ethnic identities and, ulti- mately, hide racist views against others who are different because of their skin color, physical features, languages and, obviously, diets. Foreign Children Little Indian, Sioux, or Crow Little frosty Eskimo, Little Turk or Japanese, Oh! Don't you wish that you were me? You have seen the scarlet trees And the lions over seas; You have eaten ostrich eggs, And turned the turtle off their legs. Such a life is very fine, But it's not so nice as mine: You must often as you trod, Have wearied not to be abroad. You have curious things to eat, I am fed on proper meat; You must dwell upon the foam, But I am safe and live at home. Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, Little frosty Eskimo, Little Turk or Japanese, Oh!

RUNDLE Miscommunication is accepted as an inevitable feature of intercultural communication. The majority of writings implicitly assume that these failures are the consequence of lack of competencies on the part of the interactants. Alternatively, at least a small percentage of these failures may be the result of the language itself. Psychic unity, the anthropological concept of a fundamental biological homogeneity of man's mental life, is the unexamined property which makes communication of any sort possible.
