Welcoming All Students to Room 202: Creating Culturally Responsive Classrooms
Donna Y. Ford
One Wednesday, a colleague was anxious about a dinner that evening to which he had invited all of his students. He’d made the invitation early in the semester, but now, he was frantically thinking of ways to make the evening a success for his students—now his guests. He called my mother several times for advice about the menu—enough times for her to volunteer to meet him at the grocery store and to cook the meal! My colleague, you see, was no longer the professor; he was the host. His students were no longer his students; they were his guests. They were no longer at the university; they were at his home. And he put a lot of time, thought, and effort into making his guests—all of them—feel welcome.
