Formed a donut with an inside and an outside circle. Moved around to discuss different questions with colleagues. Why did we become a teacher? What keeps us teaching here? What is culturally responsive pedagogy? What would we like to know about engaging in culturally responsive pedagogy?
Back into table groups to write down any thoughts we had about culturally responsive pedagogy.
Using the reading with a partner to discuss the main points of the reading 'Cultural relationships for responsive pedagogy, A bicultural mana orite perspective" Mere Berryman, Dawn Lawrence, and Robbie Lamont.
Discussed the main points of the reading and wrote down 3 main points.
Joined with two others from other pairs and discussed the three main points we each had and why/how they are important to effective culturally responsive pedagogy.
How are we being culturally responsive teachers at FFC.
Key things to achieve today - questioning ourselves and why it is important to be culturally responsive and incorporate that into our pedagogy. We need to take ownership, investigate and reflect on our practises.
