Abstract
The purpose of this
course of study (EDL/505) is to reflect on our classroom practices and assess our personal cultural
perspectives as they align with the cultural proficiency continuum. The importance of reflection permeates into all of the interactions that we have
with our students, their families, and everyone that we influence.
Our background
and self-knowledge grows because of experiences with multiple cultures
throughout our lives. Over time our thoughts shape our actions, and our actions
transform our self-truths. Through writing the forum board responses contained within this video we have
personally examined our culturally proficient practices, challenges,
barriers, and support needed for implementation of best practices. This exercise has compelled each of us to embrace the equity comprising cultural proficiency as it relates to
instructional practices.

My Path Toward Cultural Proficiency
The journal video embedded here contains my reflections about my own cultural proficiency within my teaching practices and in my life. As an educator who values diversity I know that I need to
pay close attention to not only my lessons, but my actions as well. What am I doing today to communicate that I value
diversity? Does that message radiate in how I plan for all learners? The answer
is yes. By being present and available to others I let them know that I am
committed to them, and to our learning community.
