I am going to better create an environment of equal learning in a diverse classroom by understand my students individual backgrounds.
Use each teaching/learning experience to gain the most you can out of it. Knowledge is free and something that no one can take away once it is learned.
While you may see everyone for who they are, it may not be their life's experience. Take the time to get to know the individual, appreciate what you can learn from them and reciprocate by sharing the knowledge you possess.
Equity is not the same as equality. I think that is important.
Building cultural competency in instructors is essential for creating inclusive and effective learning environments. Applying Professional development, Self-Reflection, Exposure to Diversity and Inclusion, Collaboration and Support, and Feedback into our personal development growth plan will prioritize the development of cultural competency among instructors, educational institutions can create more inclusive and equitable learning environments.
Cultural competence is a requirement in any sector a person find him or herself because of the multicultural nature of the US.
Diversity and Inclusion is part of our culture. We have to learn to understand and respect everybody
I have learned the importance of respecting each person as the unique individual they are; to examine my own thoughts as to what or who an individual is based on preconceived or ingrained notions, and to allow for differences in educational processes and pedagogy to enable all to thrive and be successful in my classes.
Look on potentials not weaknesses, help students overcome their weaknesses.
I believe that everyone does have the ability to benefit from the educational experience although if students are treated fairly and with respect the learning environment is ineffective
Give everyone the opportunity to further their knowledge and understanding.
It is important to treat all students equally and fairly.
Comment on Eleta Reed-Morgan's post: Each student have their own differences and ways they learn so we as instructors need to understand it and assist with it.
Comment on April Quinton's post: I have learned a new concept to cultural competency because many students need instructors to know and understnad their differences on many levels. By that, we as instructors can be more flexible in the learning envoronment.
I liked the course, it helps to reflect upon yourself.
I want my students to know that I care about them and that I am there to help all of them succeed.
Interesing how you can apply EQ to increase cultural awareness as well, and reflection at the end of the classroom great way to evalaute if you met individual student needs.
What I learned and wil use in my class is My Personal Mission Statement
It is important to creat a safe space where everyone will feel comfortable being themselves
Being culturally competent means first knowing who I am: knowing my assumptions and beliefs; and my value which in turn allows me to value others in a manner that is equal or greater to my value.
