Culture vs. Race: Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people which encompasses many things including language, religion, food, cultural norms, and the arts. The module suggests 5 competencies to keep in mind to be culturally responsive as a teacher and for learners which include reflection, respect, accommodating learners when needed, intercultural communication, and structure.
Race is the grouping of people by their ethnicity and is a social construct that does not take into account an individual's full experience and background. It is important to create an inclusive classroom environment and be thoughtful about strategies to promote inclusivity.
