Cultural Awareness in the Classroom


In order to incorporate cultural awareness into my teaching, I would first make sure I know my students. From there, I could see what cultures we already have in play in the classroom. We could go deeper into every student’s culture by sharing. Another way would be to use technology. We could Skype classrooms in other countries! Even more, we could read books about many cultures. We could learn another language (we are doing this now in my classroom- I’m teaching them Portuguese!) There are several ways to incorporate cultural awareness in the classroom. I hope to be able to integrate it into the curriculum very often. Hopefully our trip to Brazil will help us learn more about that!
