EDU330 GCU Influence Cultural Understanding to Teacher Case Study Analysis

Select Case Study 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, or 3.9 in “For Cultural Competence: Knowledge, Skills and Dispositions needed to Embrace Diversity.”

Examine the scenario through a lens of cultural competence to determine when/how a deeper cultural understanding would have influenced the teacher’s responses.

In a 500-750 word analysis, discuss 2-3 of the following concepts of deep culture in the context of the selected case study:

• Collective orientation (promoting needs of the group versus promoting needs of the individual)
• Time orientation
• Respect for authority
• Perceptions and value of education
• Priority of family
• Communication (e.g., language development, verbal communication styles, nonverbal communication, physical proximity)
• Value of work/Work ethic
• Peer pressure
• Assimilation dilemma: adaptation versus preservation

In addition, include specific advice to the teacher in your case study to help him or her respond more appropriately to the student/family.

Use at least 2-3 scholarly sources (other than the assigned readings) to justify your responses.
