| Description This alternative delivery professional development opportunity is for all GED/ESOL teachers and directors. It may be done individually or in a locally formed study group. Culturally Proficient Instruction: A Guide for People Who Teach by Robins, Lindsey, Lindsey and Terrell How can we go beyond "heroes, holidays, and haute cuisine" to reach a more meaningful level of personal cultural proficiency? Reading this book will help start us on an "inside-out" approach to diversity in which the authors ask us to question assumptions we encounter in our educational experiences. "Cultural proficiency is not a destination but, rather, a way of being. It is an ongoing and unfolding process as you learn about yourself, your organization, and the people who work with you. To be culturally proficient does not mean you know all there is to know about diversity. It means you have learned how to learn. You have learned how to be a student of culture and a cultural informant to others about cultural expectations of the environments that you do know well." (p. 102) "It (cultural proficiency) is a tool for creating an environment in which everyone has equitable access to success." (p. 108) THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS AVAILABLE Choose one to be sent to you by the NEABLE Resource Center: 1. The activity can be done individually Click here to select Option I 2. The activity can be done in a locally formed study group. Click here to select Option II |
