Cultural Competence in the Classroom
Nikhil Goyal is a successful high school student who, like many students his age, hates school. But unlike most students his age, Nikhil wrote a speech about it and delivered it to a global audience his presentation
Why Kids Hate School?: Nikhil Goyal at
[email protected]
(Links to an external site.)
. In his presentation, Nikhil shares the story of another student, Nick Perez. The central theme of the presentation is relevance and, specifically, how schools often lack relevance to the lives of their learners.
In this assignment, you will reflect on the story of Nick Perez and analyze it based on what might have happened differently if Nick’s education targeted the learning of 21st century skills through culturally relevant learning opportunities. Additionally, you will recommend a culturally relevant learning experience that might have been able to meet Nick’s needs in high school. Review the Instructor Guidance for this week for additional information and use the Ladson-Billing (1995; summarized in the Instructor Guidance) resource and Chapters 4 and 8 of Wardle (2013) to define a culturally relevant learning experience; apply this framework to the creation of solutions. Then, create your paper to meet the content and written communication expectations stated below.
In your paper, include the following: (3 points)
Discuss the learning experiences and cultural competencies that you believe were valued at Nick’s school, based on the information presented in the video and which learning experiences and cultural competencies would be most applicable and interesting to Nick using his interest in computers as a form of his cultural identity (think about the way that he described his life at home and at computer camp). Include examples using at least two of the following four characteristics of cultural competence:
Awareness of one’s own cultural worldview (including biases)
Knowledge of different cultural practices and worldviews
Positive attitudes and open-mindedness toward cultural differences
Ability to work successfully with others from different cultures
Determine which of the 4C skills (i.e., creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, communication, and collaboration that are presented in
The 4Cs Research Series (Links to an external site.)
) you perceive are most likely relevant to Nick’s current position as a programmer in an advertising firm and which of these skills you perceive are not adequately addressed in typical classroom environments today (2 points).
Summarize how the acquisition of learning and innovation skills through culturally relevant instruction can lead to greater student success in the classroom and in the real world. Include examples using at least three of the following nine areas of culturally relevant instruction (2 points):
Maximizing academic success through relevant instructional experiences

The document is an instructional video about a Character Cafe that introduces children to characters from books. It contains tips for filming techniques like establishing shots, close-ups, medium shots, and zooming. The video shows scenes of children at a cafe discussing book characters they relate to and how characters are like making new friends. It encourages children to imagine how they can "be a character" by dressing like characters from stories.
Library media program evaluation rubric
The media specialists at the school recently completed an evaluation rubric of the library media program. They found the program meets or exceeds standards in most categories such as staffing, but could improve in collaboration. Specifically, collaboration between the media specialist and classroom teachers in integrating information literacy skills into lessons is limited. To address this, the media specialists developed strategies like having the media specialist attend monthly grade level meetings to directly collaborate with teachers on lessons. They also aim to expand access to the media center by having additional hours outside the regular school day.

Lewis M Collection Evalaution
This document provides a review and evaluation of the media center collection at Westmont Elementary School related to teaching the fourth grade social studies standards on the American Revolution. The evaluator found that most materials were quite outdated, with an average copyright year of 1992. Few materials covered some topics like life in the colonies. Circulation of materials related to the standards was also quite low. The evaluator plans to order new, more recent materials to fill gaps, replace outdated items, and better cover all topics in the standards.
Lewis M Policy Chart
The document analyzes and compares policies from a Board of Education (BOE), BOE procedures, media center procedures, and examples from other districts. It finds that the BOE policies lack detail, while the media center handbook and procedures contain more informative guidelines. It suggests adopting the detailed media handbook guidelines as BOE policies to better define roles, responsibilities, selection processes, circulation procedures, and scheduling expectations. Adopting these existing guidelines could strengthen the policies governing the media center.
Lewis M Policy Chart
The document reviews several media center policies regarding scheduling and collaborative planning, circulation, media specialist roles and responsibilities, and selection. It finds that while the policies briefly mention these topics, the county media center handbook provides much more detailed guidelines and examples. It suggests transferring the specific information from the handbook into board-adopted policies to better define the procedures.
