Culturally Responsive Pedagogy

Practitioner Reflections

To develop this competency, explore activities and resources that help you answer the following questions:

  • Do the assignments, assessments, and instructional resources I use allow my students to see themselves and see others?

  • Do I review the assignments, assessments, and instructional resources I use for historical accuracy, stereotypes, cultural relevance, and multiple perspectives?

  • How do I seek to learn about my students' existing knowledge, cultural backgrounds, interests, issues of concern, and family traditions?

  • Do I incorporate students' background knowledge, cultures, and family traditions daily or only on particular holidays or units (i.e., Black History Month)?

Example Activity

The University of the Fraser Valley is situated on the traditional territory of the Stó:lō peoples. The Stó:lō have an intrinsic relationship with what they refer to as S’olh Temexw (Our Sacred Land), therefore we express our gratitude and respect for the honour of living and working in this territory.
