As an Indian social work instructor in the United States, I came across cultural differences between my students and me. This reflection paper aims to share culturally humble teaching practices that I utilized while teaching and how they aided me in overcoming and understanding those cultural differences in the classroom. I believe the shared experience will help international instructors who experience similar cultural differences in their academic careers.References
