Certainly, the starting point for the use of funds of knowledge for teaching need not to be the household visits; this connection can also be mediated.( M&G pg. 170)
This means that not only doing the household visits you discover your funds of knowledge but you can do any type of research that involves the search of community resource. This also means that a teacher should not limit only to a classroom but to see that there are many other things that we could connect to our funds of knowledge.
I defiantly agree with your response. A good teacher is able to understand the different and unique funds of knowledge each student has since funds of knowledge can come from such different sources of life and society.
ReplyDeleteVery true, funds of knowledge should not be only the student's background, but also their community and surroundings
ReplyDeleteI believe this also because funds of knowledge come the things around us like family/community.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your response I touch on this in my post you should check it out.
