The Influence and Evolution of Cultural Competence in K12 Classroom Practice, Handbook Content, and Discipline Policies
Classrooms are becoming diverse nationwide. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (2022), the cultural demographics of elementary and secondary high school classrooms consisted of white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander, American Indian, Alaska Native, and two or more unidentified cultures. Therefore, teachers, administrators, and staff must create an environment that embraces cultural competence. Also, it is important to remember when a teacher displays cultural competence, they demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of cultural differences and take action accordingly (Macqueen et al., 2020, p.116). This study focused on two questions. First, if I surveyed a k12 public school classroom teacher about their perception of the evolution of cultural competence in classroom practices, in what ways would the information alter my understanding of how teachers view cultural competence? In addition, If I reviewed the handbook and policies of a k12 public school, would the policies and handbook information reflect cultural competence, and in what ways, if any, would my understanding be altered about incorporating cultural competence in a handbook and discipline policies? My thoughts regarding the importance of cultural competence in classroom practice and policies were not changed. Cultural competence is necessary to ensure that all students have equitable access.https://griffinshare.fontbonne.edu/edd-projects-2023/1000/thumbnail.jp
