Eliminating the 'Ugh' Factor: Promoting Global Awareness and Tolerance in 6th Grade World Cultures





The study of World Cultures is filled with many unique, yet peculiar customs and traditions. Many teachers steer clear of cultural content for fear of making embarrassing mistakes. In today's interdependent world, cultural knowledge is an absolute necessity. Come join us as we examine cultural assumptions and stereotypes of our students and reflect on our own, explore traditions that are outside our comfort zone, learn to provide students with experiences with diverse populations, and discuss strategies  that will help students to eliminate the "ugh" factor, helping to promote global awareness and tolerance in the World Cultures classroom.
