Nurturing Culture In The Classroom For Success Of Indigenous And Pacific Islander Students, Sarah Aten
Nurturing Culture In The Classroom For Success Of Indigenous And Pacific Islander Students, Sarah Aten
Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)
Poverty, substance abuse, and high incarceration rates are rampant among Native American/First Nation populations; these problems appear in many colonized cultures. However, some areas, such as Hawaii, seem to have overcome those issues with a respectful embrace of the indigenous culture and practices of the indigenous population of the area. As demonstrated in literary works from other related cultures, specifically the Maori and Native Americans, having representation and an understanding of one’s culture lowers the incarceration rates and lays a foundation for indigenous peoples to rise out of poverty. This presentation will equip teachers with tools and resources for raising …
Reaching Multilingual Learners Through Translanguaging Pedagogy, Audra Thompson
Reaching Multilingual Learners Through Translanguaging Pedagogy, Audra Thompson
Symposium of Student Scholars
What are the best practices for reaching multilingual learners in K-12 classrooms? While researchers have sought for an answer to this query, several linguists have put forth the concept of translanguaging, “the deployment of a speakers’ full linguistic repertoire without regard for watchful adherence to the socially and politically defined boundaries of named (and usually national and state) languages” (Otheguy et al., 2015, p. 283). This innovative pedagogy has forged its way into many Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) courses in the Inclusive Education Department at KSU, but what are the benefits of teachers using translanguaging pedagogy …

Promoting Bilingualism And Biculturalism In Culturally And Linguistically Diverse Families In South Korea, Jooeun Kim
Promoting Bilingualism And Biculturalism In Culturally And Linguistically Diverse Families In South Korea, Jooeun Kim
Symposium of Student Scholars
In 2006, the South Korean government set forth a policy supporting Korean education for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) children, indicating they were incapable of learning “proper” Korean under foreign parents (Hong, 244). Considering how such children continue to be deprived of the right to acquire mother tongue in the South Korea, there have been recent efforts to develop bilingual coaching programs. In the long run, examining how it can be practically implemented and sustained as a helpful program can contribute to CLD children’s bilingual and bicultural development. The current study aims to explore perspectives and experiences of bilingual coaches …
Utilizing "Third Space" To Support Students With Refugee Backgrounds, Susie Redecop
Utilizing "Third Space" To Support Students With Refugee Backgrounds, Susie Redecop
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
This infographic provides a snapshot of my research on third space theory and provides examples of how it can be used in the classroom to support students with refugee backgrounds. If home is a child’s first space and school is a second space, a third space is an environment where these two spheres merge. Third spaces interrupt cultural essentialism and create new opportunities for understanding, collaboration and harmony (Lotherington, 2013). Teachers can use third space theory to combine culture and curriculum to make learning meaningful and accessible for all learners.
Implementation Of Culturally Relevant Teaching In Namibian Classrooms: Understanding Impediments And Identifying Assets, Fransisko Constantino
Implementation Of Culturally Relevant Teaching In Namibian Classrooms: Understanding Impediments And Identifying Assets, Fransisko Constantino
Scholarly and Creative Works Conference (2015 - 2021)
Culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) is a teaching approach that can be utilized to improve academic outcomes among diverse student populations. Currently, however, there is a lack of research examining why some teachers struggle to implement CRP, particularly in educational contexts beyond the U.S. This study examined why there is a lack of implementation of CRP within combined schools in the Kavango East region of Namibia. More specifically, this study assessed the role of CRP within Namibian English Second Language (ESL) classrooms and examined how the experiences of ESL teachers affected their ability to implement CRP. In addition, this study explored …

Diversity Conference
Participants in this session will first be presented with exemplar initiatives at public universities across Texas that are currently recognized as HSIs. These initiatives will focus on curricular updates, recruitment efforts, and campus physical culture. From these success stories, participants will have conversations about clearly defining purpose, pathways for implementation, how to address potential roadblocks, etc.
