connecting practices to learning and living in the context of cultural competence. Although the
respect model is a part of the four part system, the four part system runs its system based on four
principles. One being, human beings create, learn, share, and adapt to culture. Two. Cultures are
dynamic and change over time. The third thing is, through experience, observation, and
reflection, students will identify elements of culture as well as similarities and differences among
cultural groups across time and place. Last but not least, in schools, this theme typically appears
in units and courses dealing with geography, history, sociology, and anthropology, as well as
multicultural topics across the curriculum.
