This is a beautifully written refle...Hi Annemarie,<br />This is a beautifully written reflective story. I think it's so important to know where you come from as a starting point to be able to think about how you approach different learning conventions and as you say "clear your lense". To be culturally sensitive, one does need to take a step outside of yourself and come into the community from the child's point of view. I agree that cultural performances and especially language play a huge part in inclusivity. That relationship is key to understanding the part that the child needs to play in their learning. What I mean is that when you know the person and care about their interests and wellbeing, you are better equiped to plan for engagement their way as the Te Kotahitanga article sugests (Bishop, Berryman, Cavanagh & Teddy, 2009) Thank you so much for such a lovely read...
