Culturally Responsive Educator Multimedia Project

Multimedia project for Diversity 330 at WSU!

Lyrics:
in this class we have learned how to be culturally responsive teachers in our classrooms with future students

we have read so many articles and chapters about being culturally responsive and actively aware

one thing that I've learned from Banks
is that we need reform
in our schools and curriculums
for multicultural beliefs to form

Next up, I learned from Cowhey
In black ants and buddhists
Children face adversity
That won't always be easily noticed

We need to teach about
events happening globally
promote student involvement
in the school and community

Before taking this course
I didn't know much about
How to create a safe space
For every student in my class (but now i do)

We've watched documentaries and clips about teaching diversity, social justice and multiculturalism
reflecting on the things that we've learned in this class will make for culturally sensitive lessons and future activists

It is a necessity
to get to know each student
understanding what their interests are
and incorporating it is time well spent

I will make sure my students know
they are all cared about and loved
regardless of where they've come from
or who they believe is watching from above

from this class we will take everything that we've learned about being culturally responsive into our careers
in our careers as teachers we'll keep this all in mind when creating lessons and units to advocate for social justice
