doing my own work was other scholars referring to a “cultural mismatch.” The field was asking, How do we get “these kids,” or how do we use “their language” and “their culture,” to get them to learn some kind of standard or some kind of canon? So, it was like, “Oh, we can use this culture as a bridge.”

Teachers are key in student success and in a unique position to build bridges. And conversely these two sentences ring in my ears, as an activist style leader. You can't set them up for failure and you can't give up the pursuit of building bridges. "The reality is that commitment to culturally sustaining pedagogies isn’t easy. So the question remains, how can such a task be shouldered so that the brunt of responsibility does not still fall squarely on teachers?" -Stephanie sschoening913 https://padlet.com/anitamicichisu/e01awjx3c54gv0zc/wish/1749735644 2021-09-17 23:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/anitamicichisu/e01awjx3c54gv0zc/wish/1749735644 kylec12 https://padlet.com/anitamicichisu/e01awjx3c54gv0zc/wish/1749736804 Education and educating others we often pull from our experiences. Everyone has different experiences and this is can skew how we view and deliver a message. In my experience I have it was hard for me to relate to my students. We need to listen and learn from one another.]]> 2021-09-17 23:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/anitamicichisu/e01awjx3c54gv0zc/wish/1749736804 We’re also well aware of the constrained environments in schools and how many of you reading this piece are thinking that you’re alone in your schools because maybe your administrators or some of your colleagues don’t have this view. https://padlet.com/anitamicichisu/e01awjx3c54gv0zc/wish/1749737536 2021-09-17 23:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/anitamicichisu/e01awjx3c54gv0zc/wish/1749737536
