One culturally responsive approach Dr. Nelson discusses is student centered instruction. This is where students learn through exploration and collaboration with peers on assignments and projects that are culturally and socially appropriate. In my lesson plan, students participate in an activity with a partner to examine the shapes of Geoblocks, but there is some lecturing at the beginning of the lesson. I could add even more student-centered instruction to evaluate their understanding. Students could be divided into groups of four or five to explain vocabulary words discussed and their meanings.
Another culturally responsive approach Dr. Nelson discusses is Communicating high expectations. If i communicate that I expect all students to understand the shapes given to them, and the vocab words, students will strive to meet that expectation. This will develop a healthy self-concept in students.
