In this space, I want to highlight what I am learning from being out in schools and classrooms with teachers who are successful with diverse students. This is a blog where we can get answers to our collective and individual questions about how we can help students become confident and competent learners.
Since you are an equity-minded educator like me, you are probably waging your own private movement to bust the myths behind student engagement (or the lack of) among low performing students of color, poor students, and English learners. What’s important is that you and I are now connected. Or maybe your school is reading Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain in a book study and you wanted to know more about this Zaretta Hammond chick who wrote it. Maybe you ended up here because you were doing a Google search for culturally responsive teaching practices Or, maybe you typed in and those shadowy internet puppeteers redirected you here.
Maybe you heard about my book, Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain. You might have found your way here through a number of possible paths.
