For me, living in a small Alaskan Bush community...I got out there with my students, fishing and hunting...working on native dresses with the locals. After my students saw me outside of school, participating in their culture, it made our student/teacher relationship 💪🏽#vamathchat

By immersing myself whatever culture I was in, I was making connections with my students. #vamathchat

Each place that I lived and taught, I had to learn the different cultures of my surroundings. The bush of Alaska where students lived off of hunting and fishing was totally different than the migrant workers children in Oregon. #vamathchat

I make up story problems based on my kids so I had to get to know them and their culture to make it relevant to them. #vamathchat

As a teacher who has taught in Oregon, Alaska, and Minnesota, moving to Charles City, Virginia was a totally different cultural experience. I had never taught African American kids before. #vamathchat
