1.0 INTRODUCTION
Preparing for Culturally Responsive Teaching was an article by
Genera Gay (2001) from Washington University, Seattle published in his
recent book entitle Culturally Responsive Teaching.
Based on the article, the author focussed on elevating the school
success of ethnically diverse students through culturally responsive
teaching and to prepare preservice teacher in education programs with
understanding, methods, attitudes, knowledge and skills to achieve the
focussed area. For me, this article is really important since in education,
it involve variety of culture where the students actually comes from
different background and each of the culture may bring specific style in
their learning process. So, teachers who are actually have direct
implication for teaching and learning need to know the ways to deliver the
contents, understanding the cultural diversity that exist between the
students or in other words to prepare effective cultural teaching to meet
and elevate the school success.
2.0 SUMMARY
In this article, the author focussed on teachers who need to prepare
an effective teaching method for culturally diverse students in school. In
order to investigate this specific approach to effective teaching for
multicultural students, the author had done the research findings,
theoretical claims, practical experiences and educators personal stories
researched and worked with low scorer African, Asian, Latino and Native
American scholars. These data were collected from individuals from wide
range of disciplinary backgrounds. There were five vital components of
culturally responsive teaching examined. Firstly, develop a knowledge
basis about cultural diversity, designing culturally relevant curricula for the
second element, demonstrating cultural caring and build a learning
fourth
element
that
been
highlighted
is
cross
cultural
in
classroom
instruction.
This
can
be
implemented
by
diversity that exist in school. Every culture that exist in school actually
have different style or language that teacher need to know the way on
how to tackle them by concerning about their culture base. This is
because, the learning process will be more effective when students are
taught through their own culture and life experiences. I can see that the
author give brief explanation about the subject being discussed when he
provide many example of the way to prepare for culturally responsive
teaching which some of the ways I can used when teaching multicultural
students. The author also provide trustworthy information and credible
points of view where he gave two difference situation and compare both of
it.
But, there are some limitation in this article in the form of language
that he used. For me, he uses such complicated term of words and
sentences which made some readers hard to understand. In addition, this
article is based on the research finding from the variety of background
from Latino, African, Asian and Native American Students so some
example that he provided
