I have been very fortunate in my life to have travelled to mutliple places and had the opportunities to experience many different things. Travel has impacted my teaching practice because is has allowed me to see different cultures and different ways of being. This further emphasizes the Indigenous perspective that there is multiple ways of being and knowing besides the western culture we live in which is something that is now apart of the BC curriculum. For example, in Mexico I was able to see ruins and further learn about Mexican culture. This has allowed me to value diversity even more which will be an asset in my classroom to appreciate and understand different cultures since we live in a country that is full of people from all different places and can help me foster an appreciation for diversity in my students to make the world a better place. I hope to continue to travel and gain more knowledge input different ways of living.
