Cultural relevant pedagogy in my future classroom will look like many different things. I have seen that in my education growing up that the curriculum was very whitewashed. Everything was taught through the lens of white people. From history, math, language arts, etc. All the subjects reflected what white people believe, and do, and think, and work. However, with the rise in immigrants to Canada, as well as the coming importance toward Indigenous curriculum, the focus of our curriculum should no longer be entirely Euro centric views. I hope that we can spend time learning about all the difference cultures that are represented in the class room and not just focus on white history. By doing this we can bring in parents of the students, elders, and even have students share their stories about the history of their culture, traditions, language differences, math difference, etc. By doing this we will make normal all of the cultures that are present in the class. As well, by sharing and learning about the differences they become normal and there for students will be less likely to have bias in the future because they were able to learn about the truths of so many cultures. It also gets rid of the idea that whites are better then other races and cultures because we will learn about them all equally.
As I said above I really want to have a rounded class that learns about all cultures and races. I think that by having this it will help students have a sense of place in the classroom. To explain, by having students learn and also teach other students about who they are, their culture, their traditions, how they do science and math in their language, we create in environment in the classroom that no ones ideas are better the anyone else they are just different. And being different is not bad it is good because that is what makes us unique. I think that by having this environment in my classroom student will feel free to dress how they want to dress, speak what language they want to speak, and really make them feel like they can be themselves at school. Which in the end will make them feel like Canada is home because for most of them it is but often times they do not feel that way.
