Culturally Teaching: Exploring Education and Culture

If people across the world are different, doesn’t that mean that their schools could be different too? That the way they teach could differ? Culturally Teaching was started with the aim to ‘explore education and culture around the world’.
The topics that the blog covers are:
Read about what the closing or opening of a door has to do with culture in a classroom. Or why the checkmark had a different meaning for an American student and a German teacher.

Check out their blog for more insights, to learn about different classrooms as well as contribute what you know about your classroom.
