with your mentor and other teachers at your school to get a general idea of
their current understanding of the topic. Spend time observing various learning
experiences to gauge the level of cultural responsiveness. Gather ideas for
your own example of an informed learning activity that is culturally
responsive. Participate in learning experiences and activities that are
culturally responsive.
Continue to work on achieving the goals that
you identified in your Practicum Learning Plan.

Part
2: Informed Culturally Responsive Instruction Plan
Select a prevalent cultural group in your
school to research. Utilize your required reading, the GCU Library, and other
online resources to identify specific considerations for that cultural group.
Research individual cultural identity factors and how they affect learning and
academic progress. Identify culturally responsive strategies to accommodate
this group.
Develop a culturally responsive learning
activity for this cultural group of ELLs or bilingual/dual language students
with a grade and ELP level of your choice. Choose a content topic (such as the
Civil War, world peace, solar system, etc.) to develop an activity that
demonstrates informed culturally responsive instruction.
Create a 500-750 word informed culturally
responsive instruction plan that articulates how the specific considerations
for the cultural group you have chosen could be taken into account when
creating a learning activity. Your informed culturally responsive instruction
plan should include:
- A description of the cultural group you have chosen to research
including the specific considerations for that cultural group identified
in the literature.
- A description of the learning activity you developed including:
- Grade and ELP level of your intended students
- The activity objective
- The materials needed and how the activity would be carried out
- How the activity will be assessed
- An explanation regarding how the cultural considerations of your
students informed the development of your activity.
- An analysis of individual cultural identity factors and how they
affect learning and academic progress.
- An explanation regarding how culturally responsive
instruction promotes the progress and leads to the ultimate goal of
reclassification for ELLs and bilingual/dual language students.
