Culturally responsiveteaching isnt about heroes and holidays. Its about connecting the classroom to the realities of what students know and live, NEA (National Education Association)Emory University researcher Jacqueline Jordan Irvine

CP&ICulturally responsive teaching is a pedagogy that crosses disciplines and cultures to engage learners while respecting their cultural integrity. It accommodates the dynamic mix of race, ethnicity, class, gender, region, religion, and family that contributes to every student's cultural identity. Raymond J. Wlodkowski and Margery B. GinsbergRule number 4: Practice design, not decoration.

LEARNER OUTCOMES

Reflect on our own perspectives and recognize the perspectives of others.

Understand the extent to which curriculum can promote multiple perspectives. (Culturally Responsive Teaching)

Discover the components of culturally responsive lesson design.

Learn how to apply the knowledge by incorporating it into practice.

Do you have a main point? Consider putting just one word on the slide by itself. Want them to remember a few items? Dont show everything at once. Instead, show one item at a time. Have a picture that expresses your idea? Scale that picture so that it fills the slide. Have a quote that says it all? Let it say it and remove everything else.

Whats in a Name?Discuss the questions relevant to you & your partner.

What is your name?Have you had any other names?What is the story of how you acquired your name?What does your name mean?How does your name reflect your culture or history?How do people respond when they see or hear your name for the first time?If you changed your name, what would it be?

Why not do it the way you are used to?

The last rule is: Cultivate healthy relationships (with your slides and your audience)Going to the Movies1. Carefully read the description of your level.

2. Without using words or letters, illustrate what you read about your level.

3. Decide how you will present the information captured in your illustration.

4. We will come together as a large group so that all groups can present their scene from the movie that thoughtfully and creatively describes the continuum.

Your audience didnt show up to read your 60 page on screen dissertation.Student Interests and Relevancy to Life and the Real WorldAre students interests and identities taken into account in the lesson design?Are connections made between the lesson content and relevancy to students lives?

Academic DevelopmentAre students given the opportunity to engage in higher order cognitive skills (e.g., analysis, synthesis, evaluation)?Does the lesson encourage students to draw on different learning styles (e.g., visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic)?

Knowledge ConstructionDoes the lesson allow students to operate as co-constructors of knowledge?From what cultural standpoint or experience does the lesson draw (e.g., dominant/traditional; non-dominant group)? Are students encouraged to consider different viewpoints and/or perspectives with regards to the topic under study?Are there opportunities for students to collaborate with/learn from others?Cultivation of socio-critical awarenessDoes the lesson address allow students to explore themes and/or learn to address issues related to social justice and equity?What to look for in Lesson designWhat is cultural responsiveness and how does it relate to curriculum development?
