Students need to be understanding of different cultures and transculture because all humans will interact with others whose cultures differ from theirs. Understanding transculture and cultural differences and issues is important for better understanding of others. Allowing students time to write a currere is a way for students to think about their experiences related to culture, while also reflecting on the knowledge and understanding that they currently have on a culture. This is a personal way for students to think about their knowledge, while also thinking ahead to what they would like to understand about culture. Once students have had time to personally reflect in a currere, providing class time for students to converse is a great way to question, teach, discuss, and share experiences about culture.  \nIntroducing transcultural and general cultural differences or issues in classroom settings can be daunting, but having students begin with writing a personal currere, and then expanding upon those thoughts by encouraging participation in classroom discussions, can be a way to bring awareness to transculture and culture. Students are often not aware of cultural differences and issues, so sharing their preconceived understandings may be uncomfortable, but allowing time for personal currere prior to classroom discussions is a way to bring personal awareness to opinions, knowledge, and understandings that one may have of others. The term transculture is being used within this piece, as it is more encompassing than the term multicultural. Transculturalism is a “process through which ‘individuals and societies chang[e] themselves by integrating diverse cultural life-ways into dynamic new ones’” (Guo & Maitra, 2017, p. 84) .  \nTransculture “sees cultures as fluid, and places them in constant interaction with other cultures”(Guo & Maitra, 2017, p. 84), and is often what is seen within Canada when immigrants and refugees try to not only learn the new culture seen within Canadian towns, but also maintain their own cultural ways. Since transculture is fluid, it is important to remember that most students in our classes come from fluid homes too, and that fluidity means all students can become more aware and understanding of other cultures too. Using the self-reflective practice of currere is a great way to learn more about oneself prior to expanding transcultural knowledge in a dialogic classroom. The need for transculturalism will be explored within this writing, along with how currere can be a teaching practice that leads to productive classroom conversations when introducing the topic of transculture and culture.  \nCultural and Transcultural Learning in Schools  \nTranscultural learning is something that should be taught in classrooms as understanding and respecting cultural differences is an important skill for all students to have. Teaching about culture and transculture is important because “students will interact with multicultural, multiracial, multilingual, and multiethnic people”(Milner, 2005, p. 392) for the entirety of their lives, and students need to be respectful and understanding of any cultural differences there may be. With the “increasing urgency for Indigenous Nations and Peoples to restore and regenerate lifeways” (Corntassel & Hardbarger, 2019, p. 88), learning about other cultures, such  \nas the Indigenous cultures, is important for not only the cultural group, but for those who are learning about the culture too. With the resurgence of Indigenous cultures, the hope is that Indigenous ways of knowing is transmitted and celebrated by young people (Whitlow et al. , 2019) . All cultures need to be respected and celebrated, ","cbCainVjH6Zn3c2u","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainVjH6Zn3c2u","pdf",141728,"English","# Using Currere for Dialogic Conversations\n## Introducing Transculture and Cultural Differences\n# Cultural and Transcultural Learning in Schools","[{\"question\":\"Why does the article say students need learning about transculture and cultural differences?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that students will interact throughout their lives with people whose cultures differ from theirs, so respect and understanding are necessary skills.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article recommend using currere in class?\",\"answer\":\"Students first write a personal currere to reflect on experiences related to culture and their current understanding, then use class time to converse and expand through discussion.\"},{\"question\":\"What classroom outcome is associated with culturally relevant teaching?\",\"answer\":\"The text links cultural emphasis in classrooms to improved self-esteem and academic achievement, and it highlights culturally relevant pedagogy as empowering students intellectually, socially, emotionally, and politically.\"}]","Using Currere as a Way to Start Dialogic Conversations When Introducing Transculture and Culture to Classrooms | PDF",1792082759,18]
