We are currently studying butterflies, which will lead us to learn more about the monarch butterfly that travels more than 6,000 miles to Michoacan, Mexico. Students will learn about the life cycle of a butterfly, but also why we need to care for the monarch butterflies. Corn is a vital food for many of our families.

I hoped my students would enjoy dancing, furthermore learn more about their heritage through folkloric dance. Seeing the joy on the students, parents and staff inspired me to write a 112 Foundation Grant to start a folkloric dance group at Green Bay. I want all students to understand that their culture is rich in traditions and folklore. Through folkloric dancing they will learn about Latin American music, traditions, and history. I truly believe it will also encourage them to continue to learn more about their culture.

The quotation emphasizes the divide between teachers and pupils from different backgrounds. Different cultural norms, communication methods, and life experiences exemplify how this divide might show itself. Educators may actively close this gap by implementing culturally sensitive teaching strategies and practices, encouraging a closer relationship and understanding between them and their pupils.

Another way that teachers can help Native American students be successful is by being familiar with their beliefs and customs. Native Americans focus on group centered culture, cooperation, and sharing: all of which are important values they cherish (Sorkness & Kelting-Gibson, 2006). Native American students may also not look at the teacher when he or she is speaking to them.

    IDEA lists three ways of being culturally skilled in the classroom. This includes the teacher being culturally alert in the class to connect the gap of learning about other ethnicities, learning to communicate to students in unwritten and non-vocal styles, and know the different views of the cultures, for example, skin-to skin contact, no communication, the clothing of the student, and simple gestures. This is important in my eyes because my school alone is very diverse, and I had my share of teachers that did not respect a certain students religion or culture. This upset me and made me want to learn more about different cultures and religions. It also leads me to want to work harder to become more culturally aware, and diverse for my future students and willing to do what I can to break down barriers that may be created by students of different cultures or religions.

One of the most positive outcomes is a commitment to “radical openness,” the will to explore different perspectives and change one’s mind as new information is presented (hooks, 2003, p. 48). Understanding that there are always more sides to a story just like there can be many solutions to a problem is key to better prepare these students.

To know that each student is different and have a classroom full of them, will be a process to maintain such openness.
