Bridging Cultures in Our Schools: New Approaches That Work Knowledge Brief Author: Elise Trumbull, Carrie Rothstein-Fisch, Patricia M. Greenfield This knowledge brief provides a framework for understanding how teachers' culturally driven — and often unconsciously held — values influence classroom practice and expectations, and, when in conflict with the values of immigrant and other parents from more collectivistic societies, can interfere with parent-teacher communication. The brief looks at some specific sources of cross-culture conflicts and illustrates some strategies for resolving them.
