Toward Responsive Pedagogy

Abstract

I came into teaching as a college professor with confidence; after all, I was a successful high school English teacher, and I also had college teaching experience. However, as an immigrant whose formative life experiences were grounded in a different culture, I was apprehensive about what to expect in my new setting. During my first semester of teaching, I observed the classroom of one of my colleagues, and I was able to see how she navigated classroom interactions.
