Tell a time were in an educational setting and you were “whole” the way Asa Hilliard
describes in his video? (This can be at any time during your educational journey and can be in
formal school settings, after school settings, clubs and organizations, religious settings, etc..)
Briefly describe 4-5 things the adults did or said to contribute to this “wholeness”. Categorize
these things as surface level cultural connections or deep cultural connections. Which things felt
more meaningful and relevant to you? Connect this experience with a brief discussion on the
importance of Boykin’s research—what important points does this research make about the
relationship between deep culture, teaching, and student learning?
Make at least 1 connection to
the article and cite your sources. Finally, after reviewing teaching video #2 of in what ways does
the teaching approach reflect Dr. Asa Hilliard's recommendations about what we should tell our
children (include at least 2 ways), and in what ways could the lesson be revised to align even
more with Dr. Hilliard's recommendations for what we should tell our children (include at least 2
ways)?
