We are dealing, it would seem,
not so much with culturally
deprived children as with
culturally depriving schools.

What do CRP educators need to know: 1) themselves, 2) their students, 3) their students' communities.

Diversity of Literature in Collaborative Literacy

Authentic children’s literature is at the heart of Center for the Collaborative Classroom (CCC) curricula. Multiple and varied authors’ voices bring the full range of human experience and knowledge into the classroom through rich, diverse fiction and nonfiction. Engaged teachers facilitate the exchange of student ideas in CCC classrooms and these conversations spark curiosity, community, and a desire to participate in the learning process that reaps benefits far beyond the immediate goals of learning to read and to write.

LISTEN

Self-awareness: Acknowledging implicit bias;
mindfulness may reduce implicit age and race bias. When we raise awareness of our emotions and sensations in a given moment through mindfulness, we are more likely to be able to regulate emotional responses, reduce anxiety, and increase empathy and perspective-taking.
Self-management: Navigating strong emotions
Model your own responses
Social awareness: Cultivating a reflective classroom community

When reading this article, I really thought about how important the SEL competencies are for students and adults and how important the classroom community is (safe to take risks). The video is a powerful example of these 3 SEL skills being used in a challenging situation - we all need many opportunities to practice these skills in safe spaces first before we might deploy them in a more volatile setting.

What Role Do Teachers Play in the Educational Equity Movement
https://education.cu-portland.edu/blog/ed-leadership/what-role-do-teachers-play-in-the-educational-equity-movement/
The fact is not all children are treated equally in a school system. Economic background, gender and culture often interfere with the learning and teaching process. The education equity movement is about creating environments that focus more on learning and less on social stressors that can get in the way of fundamental education.

Diversity in the Classroom
https://equity.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/DiversityintheClassroom2014Web.pdf
This booklet summarizes empirical studies on the educational benefits of diversity, examines some of the challenges
associated with diversity in the classroom, and presents research on microaggressions in order to help faculty members meet the needs of diverse students responsibly and create a classroom environment where all students feel safe, valued,
and respected. Additionally, the booklet provides a discussion on how to engage in issues related to
diversity and diverse perspectives in the classroom and offers additional resources for faculty seeking to bring forth the value of diversity in their teaching and curricular development.
