Kimberly Worthy's lecture

I grasped a lot of information from Kimberly Worthy’s lecture. One of the key facts that I learned were the 5 main tenets of culturally relevant teaching. The five tenets include African logic, African Epistemological Styles, African Axiology, cultural visibility, and Social, Emotional and political responsibility. I had no idea that those tenets of culturally relevant teaching existed. What I love about freshmen seminar is that I learn different types of categories/classifications every week.

I also learned the pedagogical practices of freedom and justice. Those include teaching students from a different diagram of perspective. It also includes validating and exalting our culture, heritage, and scholarly contributions. This interested me because I never considered these to be practices of freedom and justice.

Another thing that I found interesting was the LEAP code of conduct. The code of conduct included Be kind, Be honest, Be healthy, be punctual, Look good, Work hard, Never give up, Admit mistakes, Learn from mistakes, Confront issues, Be open to change, and work together. I found this code of conduct interesting because it was simple. In all my years of being in school, the code of conduct was so complex. This code was simple but necessary.
