Bridging Cultures: Teacher Education Module is a professional
development resource for teacher educators and staff developers to
help preservice and in-service teachers become knowledgeable about
cultural differences and understand ways of bridging the
expectations of school settings with those of the home. In a
nonthreatening, cognitively meaningful way, the Module is based on
teacher-constructed and tested strategies to improve home-school
communication and parent involvement. These innovations were
developed as part of the Bridging Cultures Project, which explores
the cultural value differences between the individualistic
orientation of mainstream U.S. schools and the collectivistic
orientation of many immigrant families. The goal of the Bridging
Cultures Project is to support and help teachers in their work with
students and families from immigrant cultures. The centerpiece of
the Module is training resources, including an outline, an agenda,
and a well-tested three-hour script designed as a
lecture-discussion with structured opportunities for guided
dialogue and small-group discussion. Throughout the script,
"Facilitators Notes" annotate presentation suggestions and
oversized margins encourage integration of the facilitator's
personal experiences in presenting and adapting the Module. Ideas
for using the Readings for Bridging Cultures are provided. A
section of overhead transparencies and handout masters is included.
The Module also provides a discussion of the role of culture in
education and the constructs of individualism and collectivism, an
overview of the effects of the Bridging Cultures Project, and
evaluation results of the author's use of the Module in two
sections of a preservice teacher education course. Bridging
Cultures: Teacher Education Module brings the successful processes
and practices of the Bridging Cultures Project to a larger audience
in college courses and in professional development arenas. Designed
for use in one or two class sessions, the Module can be
incorporated in courses on educational psychology, child
development, counseling psychology, and any others that deal with
culture in education.
