The culturally competent teacher communicates in ways that demonstrate sensitivity to sociocultural and linguistic differences using a variety of verbal and non verbal communication techniques that encourage positive social interaction and support learning in their classroom
As I have said before, the Teacher did an excellent job of keeping students engaged in learning by assigning group activities. Students learn to work together and achieve learning goals. It helps them build confidence and how to listen to other people in the group and give everyone else a chance to be heard. This is an important lesson for the students to learn especially in a democratic society. The theorist Shor stressed the importance of keeping students attention by engaging them in learning and encouraging their success. This philosophy was clearly demonstrated in the classroom that I participated in. one group project that the students worked on was a video recorded public service announcement which they gained state recognition for. They informed the community on the awareness of issues such as drug abuse, domestic and relationship abuse, and gang violence. One girl even gained recognition on YouTube for having such a powerful PSA. The students really enjoyed this activity and they learned a lot about working together, being creative as well as the moral lessons of the issues.
