Part 1: Identify your own cultural capital
(values, beliefs). Make your values and beliefs transparent to the rest
of us. Much of this may come from what you wrote last year. However,
we do not need your life story--just the list of values and beliefs.
Part 2: After identifying your values
and beliefs, discuss the specific ways in which your teaching decisions
this quarter are influenced by these filters.
This should ALL be new--contextualize your
filters in terms of your current student teaching. Be specific about decision
making, and how those decisions may have included or excluded particular
groups (not just race/ethnicity, but also learning styles, personality
types, ses groups, etc.)
