Are your students comfortable reflecting on their own experiences? Are we, as teachers, comfortable doing this? This is an important first step in asking our students (and ourselves) to understand and appreciate other cultures and experiences. Today I speak with Jocelynn Hubbard, host of The Culture-Centered Classroom, about how we can engage students in their own cultural self-reflection. We will also learn to do it ourselves.

Topics in this Episode:

• what cultural self-reflection is and its impact on students in the classroom
• the process of self-reflection with examples of the types of resources that you use to support the process of cultural self-reflection
• how to introduce this practice to your students, and some possible challenges that might come up
• how to create a safe and inclusive environment for your students to explore and discuss their cultural identity openly
• how cultural self-reflection has influenced Jocelynn's teaching approach and helped her to better meet the individual needs of her students
