Culture in the Culture in the ClassroomClassroom
Culture is “the lens through which we look at the world…it influences how we process learning, solve problems, and teach.” Typically, it also “becomes the norm by which we measure all others’ behavior” (Edwards, Ellis, Ko, Saifer, and Stucznski 2004, 6).
Example: think of someone who has a different cultural perspective on an issue
