Questions for Reflection and Circle discussion

1. What socio-cultural context did I grow up within?  (Ex: Class, race, culture, economic status, etc.). In what way did that context impact my learning?
2. What socio-cultural contexts exist in the school where I teach?  In what ways do these contexts impact my students’ learning?
3. How aware of these contexts are the staff members serving in my school?  Do we as a staff currently work toward continuing to build this awareness?  In what ways?
4. How might a strong awareness of the socio-cultural contexts within my school improve the learning experiences for our students?
