Culture Profile

Read the entire document before you begin writing. Respond to each group of questions in at
least one paragraph. (The questions in parentheses are meant to facilitate thinking. You do not
have to answer them directly.) In each response remember to discuss 1) your current identity, 2)
how that identity was formed and 3) its long-term impact. You must consider how your
experiences will shape your work as a teacher. Do not include any information that is private and
that you do not wish to share. This is a critical reflection. If, at the end of this assignment, it
appears that you are unaware of your biases, assume you have none, or conclude that your
current biases will not have an impact on anyone, you have not completed the assignment
correctly.
The purpose of this cultural profile is to reflect on your life experiences, not to apologize for
or eulogize them!
Try to be honest and think critically about your responses.

Label each response with the appropriate sub-title.
