Survey Results

Making data-based decisions about course content is a difficult process for teacher educators. This difficulty is amplified when considering complex issues focused on diversity. In order to understand and address pre- and in-service teachers’ culturally responsive teaching beliefs, the Culturally Responsive Teaching Outcome Expectancy Scale (Siwatu, 2007) was administered during graduate and undergraduate courses in mathematics education at two southeastern US universities. From the survey results instructors identified items with high and low means (on a 100 point scale). The lowest items provided a basis for constructing future course activities. In this paper we share the expectancy scale results and course activities that were implemented. We also discuss opportunities for improving the culturally relevant practices and activities in our courses in order to ensure the transferto classroom practice.

Culturally responsive teaching provides a framework for which we can aspire to better serve all students in our classrooms. Engaging students in conversations on difficult social justice topics can be extremely challenging but very important in our global society. The authors offer several strategies for first establishing student engagement, then implementing course content to develop cultural intelligence to have these conversations. Using the lens of cultural intelligence, the authors explore effective tools for creating a welcoming environment and ways to communicate effectively with cultural humility. Then, the authors explore anti-deficit strategies needed to engage students in learning about diversity and inclusion and to facilitate constructive dialogue about current issues of discrimination, bias, and prejudice. Finally, the authors offer several case vignettes based on the experience of using the problem of practice and provide example assignments used to develop and enhance cultural intelligence.
