Maintaining a learning environment that is responsive to the community's context requires building relationships, incorporating cultural

Objective 10
The task given to the students is to research the roles of the given workers in the community by asking their parents or anyone with knowledge of
the roles. It is divided into 2 sets. The Set A used the terms which are familiar to the modern community, while the Set B used terms that are familiar
in the older or indigenous community.
For my classroom with a presence of Indigenous students, this type of assessment promotes culture- sensitivity, fairness, inclusive,
contextualization and is very much, with respect to how IP students must be assessed, appropriate.
This kind of assessment is very appropriate to my classroom which has Indigenous students because it acknowledges the culture of
these learners. According to an article, Ways of teaching & engaging Aboriginal students in an effective classroom with IP students must be
culturally relevant and responsive. The assessment test reflects the teacher’s knowledge and sensitivity to the culture of the IPs by including their
own culture and vocabulary in the assessment test. Further, the assessment also did not ask the learners to use technology to find out the roles of
these people in the community but instead, the teacher asked them to utilize the community itself and elders to provide the answers. This hits two
birds; one, the teacher acknowledges that not all students, specially IPs have computers or gadgets to search for the answers, this is very much
appropriate in teaching students from Indigenous Groups, second, it involves community members which is a very strong strategy for teaching
Indigenous students (Korff, 2021). This kind of assessment also, respective of the culture and the stronger presence of contextualization in our
curriculum shows that the teacher did not limit the IP learners to their own culture and vocabulary but also introduced the culture and vocabulary of
non-IP community and the same goes for the non-IP students in the class.
