A few words about People First Language. Disability is Natural. Retrieved August 1, 2012 from http://www.disabilityisnatural.com/images/PDF/pfl-sh09.pdf

“People First Language puts the person before the disability and describes what a person has, not who a person is.”

What is Cultural Competence?• Cultural competence refers to an ability to

interact effectively with people of different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds

Page 8: The webinar will begin at  10  am

What is Cultural Competence in the Classroom?

• educational practices, instructional strategies, team processes, and curricular content which have been established by research to increase the achievement of culturally diverse students

• how you teach to the needs and experiences of students

Page 9: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Why is Cultural Competence Important?

• One of the main ingredients in closing the achievement gap in education

• A key factor in enabling educators to be effective with students from cultures other than their own

Page 10: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Cultural Competence: Individualism vs. Collectivism

• African-American, Native American, Hispanic/Latino, and most Asian cultures are more likely to hold collectivist goals and values

• Students with European backgrounds (Caucasian) tend to align with individualist goals and values

Page 11: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Individualist Collectivist

Students work with peers and provide assistance when needed

Property is communal

Teacher is the primary authority, but peers guide each other's behavior

Parents yield to teacher's expertise to provide academic instruction and guidance

This represents a partial list of features associated with each value system.

• Students work independently; helping others may be cheating

• Property belongs to individuals, and others must ask to borrow it

• Teacher manages the school environment indirectly and encourages student self - control

• Parents are integral to child's academic progress and participate actively

Page 12: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Individualist and

Collectivist

Page 13: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Poll Question

• Do schools tend to focus more on individualism teaching strategies or collectivism teaching strategies?

Page 14: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Instructional Culture of Schools• Schools foster individualism,

viewing the child as an individual who should be developing independence and valuing individual achievement

• Teachers who understand both the collectivistic value system of minorities and the individualistic culture of schools can use practices that honor both home and school

Page 15: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Example of a teacher not understanding the difference between collectivism and individualism

A kindergarten teacher was showing her class an actual chicken egg that would be hatching soon. She was explaining the physical properties of the egg and she asked the children to describe eggs by thinking about the times they had eaten cooked eggs. One of the children tried three times to talk about how she cooked eggs with her grandmother, but the teacher disregarded these comments in favor of a child who explained how eggs looked clear and yellow when they are cooked.

Page 16: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Why Focus on Instructional Strategies?

• Poll question: When planning lessons, should teachers focus more on content, process, or both?

Page 17: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Instructional Strategies

Page 18: The webinar will begin at  10  am

• a type of interaction between speaker and listener(s) in which the statements (calls) are emphasized by expressions (responses) from the listener(s), in which responses can be solicited or spontaneous

Page 19: The webinar will begin at  10  am

• Academic review and reinforcement

• High Energy Fun

• Behavioral Reinforcement

3 Primary Goals

Page 20: The webinar will begin at  10  am
Page 21: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Students repeat what their teacher has said or complete a familiar phrase

Example: •“What are we here to do?” [“Learn and Achieve”]•“When we see a..” “Preposition!” “We look for…” [“Its object!”]

Page 22: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Students who have completed problems on their own are asked to report their answers back

Example:•“On three, tell me your answer to #1?”

Page 23: The webinar will begin at  10  am

The teacher can reinforce new information by asking the class to repeat it

Example:•“Can anyone tell me what this part of the expression is called? Yes, Leroy, that’s the exponent. Class, what’s this part of the expression called?”

3. Reinforce

Page 24: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Students review answers or information from earlier

Example:•“What did we say we did to a number when we multiplied it by itself?”

4. Review

Page 25: The webinar will begin at  10  am

The teacher asks students to solve a problem in real time and call out the answer in unison

Example:•“What is the area of this triangle, on three”?

Page 26: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Self Check

Note: Students read a story prior to going to lunch and are now back in the classroom. The teacher asks the following questions out loud.“Who was the first person Theseus met on the road to Athens, class?”“Who was the second person?”“And now who’s the third?”

Essentials of Cooperative Learning

Page 30: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Cooperative Learning Examples

Page 31: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Each student moves to a corner (or section of the classroom) of the room representing a teacher-determined alternative. Students discuss within concerns, then listen to and paraphrase ideas from other corners.

Benefits: Seeing alternative hypotheses, values, and problem-solving approaches, knowing and respecting different points of view, meeting classmates.

Page 32: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Students work in pairs within groups of four. Within pairs students alternate. As one solves a problem, the other coaches. After every two problems, the pair checks to see if they have the same answers as the other pair

Benefits: Practicing skills. Helping, praising.

Page 33: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Students write simultaneously on a piece of chart paper, drawing main concepts, supporting elements, and making connections between related ideas

Benefits: Analysis of concepts into components, understanding multiple relations among ideas, differentiating concepts

Page 34: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Students stand in pairs in two concentric circles. The inside circle faces out; the outside circle faces in. Students use flash cards, or respond to teacher questions, as they rotate to each new partner

Benefits: Checking for understanding, review, processing, helping, tutoring, sharing, and meeting classmates

Page 35: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Students work in groups to produce a particular group product to share with the whole class; each student makes a particular contribution to the group

Benefits: Learning and sharing complex material, often with multiple sources; evaluation, application, analysis, synthesis, conflict resolution, presentation skills

Page 36: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Self Check

The teacher has reviewed several behaviorist such as B.F Skinner. Students are placed into groups to make a commercial to share with the class how social learning influences people to buy or want things. Students will be responsible for having each theorist concepts within the commercial.

Page 37: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Benefits:•Creates a state of relaxation•Promotes students’ focus & concentration•Provides a change of pace and mood to improve student motivation

C. Singing and MovementC. Singing and Movement

Page 38: The webinar will begin at  10  am

• Patterns can make learning easier • Builds students confidence in oral language • Offers opportunities for repeated readings,

which builds fluency • Can be used to enhance learning in math,

science, language arts (grammar, punctuation, spelling), and other curricular areas

Benefits

Page 39: The webinar will begin at  10  am

• The faster tempo results in higher levels of excitement

• Music played at 60 beats per minute has shown to produce a state of relaxation in both children and adults

• Use music to open and close class

• How can I use my students' families and cultural backgrounds to enrich the classroom and instruction?

Families and the Learning Strategies

Page 43: The webinar will begin at  10  am

Call and Response•Good news calls- to recognize the child for a job well done as a way of promoting positive relations with parents

Cooperative Learning•Create a homework assignment with the student and any one of their family members to receive feedback on an social issue or learning objective

Music and Movement•Borrow a music CD from a student’s family collection
