Learning Objectives:  The candidate analyzes how language and culture influence identity.  The candidate explains how equity pedagogy can address disparities and inequities in academic achievement for linguistically and culturally diverse students. Differentiating Between Culture and Cultural Identity:  Describe how “culture” differs from “cultural identity.” Culture: set of values, beliefs, and behaviors shared by a group of people; complicated ways of life and customs that are shared by people in a society Cultural identity: the unique way in which an individual person weaves together aspects of the multiple overlapping cultures to which they belong; relates to the action on and execution of those beliefs and customs through an individual person; can incorporate more than one culture and is an accumulation of experiences and knowledge; it can shape who we are How Cultural Identity Impacts Teaching:  Explain how cultural disconnect can impact the teacher-student relationship. Cultural disconnect is when individuals from different cultures interact Exp: both the teacher and the parents value education & family; the parents take the child away for 2 weeks to visit family in another country and consider it part of their education; the teacher disagrees and things the student is missing out on school; while the teacher may disagree, all you can do is support that student’s culture & identity What Does Equity Pedagogy Mean?  Explain the term “equity pedagogy.” A teaching strategy and classroom environment that helps students from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural groups, attain the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to function effectively within and help create and perpetuate a just, humane, and democratic society; giving opportunities to improve performance and revisit their work through detailed feedback 5 Equity Literacy Principles Description Direct confrontation The path to equity requires direct confrontations with inequity. With interpersonal, institutional, cultural, and structural racism and other forms of oppression. Equity approaches that fail to directly identify and confront inequity play a significant role in sustaining equity Equity ideology Equity is more than a list of practical strategies. It is a lens and an ideological commitment. There is no practical strategy that will help us develop equitable institutions if we are unwilling to deepen our understanding of equity and inequity and reject

ideologies that aren’t compatible with equity Prioritization Equity approaches should be based on evidence for what work rather than trendiness. Evidence can mean quantitative research, but it can also mean the stories and experiences of people who are marginalized in your institution Evidence informed equity In order to achieve equity we must prioritize the interests of student and families whose interests historically have not been prioritized One size fits few No individual identity group shares a single mindset, value system, learning style, or communication style. Identity specific equity framework almost always are based on simplicity and stereotypes  What are two examples of a hidden curriculum in a classroom? Room arrangement Time management What is the Difference Between Equity and Equality?  What is the difference between equity and equality? Equality means everyone is treated the same Equity means that with accommodations everyone has the same chance to succeed Equal system – students given the same resources Equitable system – resources given to students based on their individual needs  Describe six practices teachers can use to create a more equitable classroom. Know every child – they are all unique, layered individuals Become a warm demander – put high expectations on your students and convince them of their own brilliance Practice lean in assessments – how do they approach tasks? Strengths? Weaknesses? Flex routines – change things up during a lesson if the students aren’t engaged Make it safe to fail – just another piece of data, tells you how to be better View cultures as a resource Don’t be culture-blind – when we ignore students’ identities, we efface who they are in the world and lose a rich resource for learning Addressing the Achievement/Opportunity Gap for Diverse Learners:  What is an achievement or opportunity gap? The measurable disparity that persists year after year in the educational performance between students of different socio-economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds  What are two examples of an achievement or opportunity gap in our schools today? Deficit perspective and providing adequate resources Performance on tests Access to key opportunities Engaging in Culturally Responsive Teaching:

Sociocultural consciousness – recognize discrimination based on ethnicity, social class, and skin color and inspect and confront any negative attitude you might have toward diverse student groups Attitude – affirming attitude toward students from culturally diverse backgrounds significantly impacts student learning Commitment and skills – teachers assist schools in becoming more equitable over time Constructivist views – promote critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and the recognition of multiple perspectives Knowledge of students life culturally responsive teaching Key Terms Culture Cultural Identity Equity Literacy Equity Pedagogy
