Welcome to Season 3 of the Adult Education Wellness Podcast! In this premiere episode, hosts Betina & Stacy (the Two Tranquil Teachers) interview Rebecca Stanley, Career Pathways Coordinator for the Internationally Trained Professionals (ITP) program at Austin Community College Adult Education.
We begin the episode with 4-7-8 breathing then dive in.
We explore how The Culture Map (book) helps adult educators understand cultural differences in:
communication styles (low-context vs high-context)
time orientation and workplace norms
feedback and directness
leadership, hierarchy, and classroom expectations
Rebecca shares how the ITP team built a book study for instructors, created shared language for cultural dimensions, and used culturally responsive structure to support student confidence and belonging.
✨ Cultural clarity is wellness: when students understand expectations and unspoken norms, they feel less anxious—and more empowered.
