Relating Learning Styles to Culture“Traditionally, we've viewed the term diversity in
terms of gender and race, but more and more, we're realizing that it involves much, much more. We're talking about not just the notions of race, we're talking about language and linguistics, we're talking about learning disability, different kinds of unique learning style, we're also talking about different kinds of families and what that means in the classroom.” Brenda Rodriguez
Brenda Rodriguez, interim director for the Chicago Public Schools project of the Center for School and Community Development at North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, discusses the challenges educators face in thinking about diversity in the classroom. Excerpted from a videotaped interview with Brenda Rodriguez (North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, 1998).

The Rationale Behind Relating the Differences in
Traditional and Functional Learners to Culture Culture is a familiar framework to use in
understanding the differences of othersCultural diversity encourages acceptance of
differences with less expectation for conformityRecognizing & identifying an issue allows for open
discussion regarding the issueCultural framework may assist regular education
providers in advancing the inclusion process and the learning styles of functional learners
Using cultural references to learning styles may increase the comfort level and dialogue regarding issues surrounding inclusion

Self-Awareness of CultureBrenda Rodriguez (1998)
Rodriguez emphasizes the importance of educators having cultural self-awareness.
Acknowledge and value one’s own culture Increase awareness of our own learning styles, strengths,
weaknesses, biases, goals, and emotionsEvaluate our own culture in relation to others during cross-
cultural interactionsLearn to become more comfortable with conflict related to
cultureLearn to appreciate thought processes from other cultures
and how meanings may be interpreted differently among different cultures

Self- Awareness Exploration ExerciseBowers & Flinders (1990) reported teachers need to become more aware of how their own cultural biases
influence their response to student performance and impact student learning ability
1. Do you associate physical disabilities with a learning disability?
2. Do you treat students in your class differently than non disabled students?
3. Do you make attempts at increasing understanding of needs of physically disabled students?
4. Do you feel comfortable in how you interact with students with physical disabilities?
5. Do you have past experiences with people with physical disabilities that either helps or hinders your effectiveness in your present teaching?
6. Do you tend to avoid people with physical disabilities?

• Important thoughts to Remember
• People with physical disabilities want to be treated like everyone else
• Wheelchairs should offer freedom to students if the environment is accessible

The Transdisciplinary Approach
This approach relies on team members sharing roles and crossing discipline boundaries. The primary purpose of this approach is to collaborate and integrate the expertise of team members providing a more efficient provision of service. Open and regular communication in a give and take manner between all members (including parents) on a regular, planned basis is essential. All disciplines teach, learn, and work together to accomplish a common set of goals for a child and her family. Assessment, intervention, and evaluation are carried out jointly by designated members of the team. This team approach usually decreases the number of professionals who need to interact with the child on a daily basis because all staff are aware of the goals that need to be addressed. (Bruder, 1994)
