- I’m sorry you feel that way. Let me ask you something: what would be your ideal learning environment?
- What’s wrong, Mark?
- Nothing. It’s just that I hate school. It’s not for me, and it’s not who I am.
- I don’t know. Maybe a school where it’s reflective of who I am and teachers adaptive to my needs, rather me adapting to theirs.
- It sounds to me that what you want are teachers that use “culturally relevant pedagogy as the place where the “beat drops” and then layer the multiple ways that this notion of pedagogy shift, changes adapts, recycles, and recreates instructional spaces to ensure that consistently marginalized students are repositioned into a place of normativity—that is, that they become subjects in the instructional process, not mere objects” (Ladson-Billings, p.76).
- Ok. It sounds like bridging the cap between what’s culturally relevant to the student and the American schooling is important for a student’s success.
- Yeah, but it’s “not simply about building bridges for students between the often disparate knowledges of home, community, and school spaces but that teachers and students must bring together and extend the various activities and practices of these domains in a forward-looking thirdspace” (Paris, p. 94).
- I'm confused.
- Think of it like this: The goal of teachers and schools “is to find ways to support and sustain what we know are remarkable ways with language, literacy, and cultural practices, while at the same time opening up spaces for students themselves to critique the ways that they might be—intentionally or not—reproducing discourse that marginalize members of the communities” (Paris Alim, p. 11).
- Be that as it may, how do you suppose teacher do this?
- To combat resistance in the classroom, teachers should turn to culturally sustaining pedagogies. In other words, teachers should seek ...to perpetuate and foster—to sustain—linguistic, literate, and cultural pluralism as a part of schooling for positive social transformation” (Paris Alim, p. 28).
- Even with a more culturally sustaining school, I’m not sure if I can do it.
- Present Me Meets Past Me
- Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. If you can only see where came from and how much you will overcome, you would be proud of yourself.
