Document Summary
Look at ways of teaching that match home and community cultures of students of color. These students previously had no success in schools. Teachers who used language interaction patterns were more successful in improving student achievement and academic performance. Mixed forms: a combination of native american and anglo language interaction patterns. Teachers were able to include aspects of the students" cultural environment in the organization and instruction of the classroom. Studies of cultural appropriateness, congruence, or compatibility have been conducted within small-scale communities. African american students: accept students communication patterns along with a constellation of african-american cultural mores. Example: mutuality, reciprocity, spirituality, deference, and responsibility. Principals" criteria for teaching excellence included classroom management skills, student achievement (measured by standardized test scores) and personal observations of teaching practice. Ethnographic interview: discuss background, philosophy of teaching, and ideas about curriculum, classroom management, and parent/community involvement. Teachers work together as a research collective or collaborative to view segments of one another"s videotapes.
