How would might you use content from this module In your professional practice?
After reading and viewing some of the videos on the TD, as a School Counselor I would definitely incorporate the importance of knowing where people come from and their culture. In our District we offer "Smart Sessions" which are for Native or Alaska Native students. These sessions enables them to get additional tutoring or graduation credits. I believe its important to help nurture the value of where students live and come from so that they will begin to value it and take pride in their future.
Lastly, this video:( Dustin Madden: Science Teacher." Teachers' Domain. 26 Feb. 2009. Web. 13 Feb. 2012. http://www.teachersdomain.org/resource/ean08.sci.life.eco.madden/.) really spoke to me as far as appreciating the environment and teaching that through Science and Math. If students understand their environment and can relate I believe they will be more willing to work harder and thus be more successful.
