Advanced Micro-credential: Socio-Cultural Context
September F. - ExcEL MUSE Team, Fifth Grade Teacher Nashua School District
Overview

On this page, you will find a walkthrough of an activity created for the Socio-Cultural Context Advanced Micro-credential. The authoring teacher used elements of culturally responsive instruction to create an activity in which students discuss their cultural backgrounds in the classroom. The author used a culturally and linguistically diverse book to get her students explore the cultural significance and traditions behind their names. This activity was tailored to student needs by allowing them to visually or orally present the stories of their names.
