Journal Entry #6

Since I have been at Fairmont we have done many different things that are culturally responsive but the one that stands out the most would be last semester during Science After School. Everything that my partner and I did used cooperative learning groups. The students were unfamiliar with each other, this helped everyone to be more comfortable with each other and also learn the concept.

I found this slide show that was put together by educators at Broward College. Since I was in middle school I have been in a culturally diverse school so I believe that I am use to people being different and as a teacher I will only handle culturally responsive teaching better. One thing I dislike about being in fairmont and being at the same school for all clinical work is that were around the same culture and not being exposed to different cultures and groups of people. I think this slideshow would help other people who are not as open to culturally responsive teaching.
