Cross-Cultural Communication/Behavior Important points to remember: Knowledge is key
Learn about cultures through direct experience
Focus on shared similarities and differences• We all share 98% of the sam e D NA
• Find com m onalities for your students.
• Encourage positive behavior
More variation exists inside a culture rather than between cultural groups:
• No one group is m onolithic.
• U nderstand and be introduced to d iverse cultures
Cultures are always changing:
• Inter-cultural interactions lead to transfer of custom s
and values
Professional Development Outlook:
Critical Thinking QuestionsHow, as teachers, do we use the world around us to broaden the scope of students’ educational experience? And will this experience be effective, comprehensive and empowering for the students? Are my teaching strategies interdependent, collaborative, and engaging? Does it strengthen the student’s relationship with their community and make them “global citizens”? Why and how does a culturally responsive student become more active participants in their learning process? How does this help give students a greater voice and self-confidence?
