Beginning teachers are often so busy preparing their daily lessons and familiarizing themselves with school procedures that they lose sight of the larger community within which they work. As a new teacher, how might you get to know something about the culture or cultures in which your students have been raised?
What will be an ideal response?
There are many possible strategies here. A few examples are these:
• Attend local social events.
• Subscribe to the local newspaper.
• On the first day of school, have students draw pictures of themselves and their community, then create a bulletin board displaying their work.
• Have students write autobiographies. In addition to providing a vehicle through which students can develop their writing skills, such autobiographies can provide insights about students' families and life experiences.
