EDRG 3321 Courtney Holley Ch. 2

Chapter 2 is all about how important it is to make your classroom culturally responsive. The chapter opens up by explaining what culture is. Culture is ways of knowing, believing, valuing, and thinking among a group people. (Living Literature pg. 22) A big area from this chapter that stuck out to me was under the titled section "The Need for Culturally Responsive Schooling" where it says that there are two challenges that each teacher has to face, 1 is being aware of your classroom mismatch culture and 2 that as a teacher you need the opportunity to know in death your students background, families, home experiences, and values. This is very important information for us as teachers to gather about our students. I really like this chapter it is one that will help you understand how to reach all of our children!
