Cultural Competence

Clinical Field Experience C: Cultural Competence
As a teacher, you may have a class with students that do not share the same linguistic or cultural backgrounds. Demonstrating cultural competence entails a focus on the individual student, not just the curriculum, as you identify ways to respect and promote the linguistic and cultural differences of your students.
You need to watch 5 hours of videos pertaining to Cultural Competencies. Attach a link on each video watched
Part 1: Continued Language Support
How do you leverage home language and cultural assets?
How do you show responsiveness to the different strengths, needs, and identities of all ELLs, including special needs?
How do you demonstrate understanding of the social, emotional, and cultural needs of students when establishing classroom routines and procedures?
At least two additional questions to discuss with the teacher.
Part 2: Reflection
Write a 250-500 word reflection summarizing your observations of the videos. Include a reflection of how you can support the language acquisition needs of the students you work with. Address how what you have learned will affect your future professional practice. Specifically discuss how you will demonstrate cultural understanding and promote language development in your classroom.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
