Cultural appreciation and culturally relevant pedagogy
Intentional pause: Positionality
We would now like to invite you to take a break from your reading. These intentional pause points have been placed throughout the OER, at the end of each section, to create time and space for you to check in with yourself.
Take a moment to…
- Have a healthy snack
- Walk around your space, or even outdoors
- Think about who you are, where you are, and how you – in your body, with your life story – got here, in this place, with its history
Try out a contemplative practice
To conclude this section on cultural appropriation and culturally relevant pedagogy, here are some practices focused on becoming aware of who you are and how you exist in space.
