Fostering Cultural Humility in the Classroom

Resource Description

The concept of cultural humility is, first and foremost, a process “of openness, self-awareness, being egoless, and incorporating self-reflection and critique after willingly interacting with diverse individuals” (Foronda et al., 2016, p. 213).

Cultural humility has three components:

1. lifelong learning and critical elf-reflection,

2. recognizing and challenging power imbalances for respectful relationships, and

3. institutional accountability (Moncho, 2013).

This resource focuses on the first step—ongoing, critical self-reflection.
