Murmurs, echoes and reverberations of becoming a culturally responsive teacher in a home economics context : a reflective self-study Gill, Ravijot Kaur

Abstract

This paper explores my journey in becoming a culturally responsive Home Economics educator. A culturally responsive teacher is one who seeks ways to engage and connect with their students in a culturally enriching manner. I use an interpretivist paradigm of which phenomenological reflection is a strand. Key points of personal and professional reflections are provided through vignettes of situations I have dealt with over the course of my teaching career. In doing so, I recount various situations I have encountered and deeply reflect on them. I aim to find clarity about my pedagogical practice and ways to engage my students that are culturally responsive, engaging and instills in them the values connected to being a lifelong learner. I strive be a teacher who honors my students’ lived experiences and honor my teaching practice to ensure that I are working alongside my students to build a sense of agency and resiliency. I characterize my reflections on becoming culturally responsive as responding to and reflecting on murmurs, echoes and reverberations.
