Identifying with the characters in a story allows for a deeper comprehension of the text because kids are making these kinds of self connections. This enables kids to demonstrate a growth mindset because they are able to see characters in stories who look like them and believe they are able to achieve the same strides. https://padlet.com/nhait2/lcj4ppi3zhnjcazy/wish/1691719028 https://www.scholastic.com/parents/books-and-reading/raise-a-reader-blog/why-its-important-kids-to-see-themselves-books.html#:~:text=It%20allows%20for%20connections%20to,these%20kinds%20of%20self%20connections.]]> 2021-08-23 17:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nhait2/lcj4ppi3zhnjcazy/wish/1691719028 https://www.learningforjustice.org/professional-development/culture-in-the-classroom https://padlet.com/nhait2/lcj4ppi3zhnjcazy/wish/1691719052 2021-08-23 17:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nhait2/lcj4ppi3zhnjcazy/wish/1691719052 Culturally Responsive Teaching https://padlet.com/nhait2/lcj4ppi3zhnjcazy/wish/1691719838 making connections to cultures, language, life experiences and school. -https://www.understood.org/articles/en/what-is-culturally-responsive-teaching

Doing block scheduling allows us to have more time, and incorporate  activities like this on a regular basis (especially in our Friday days!) While CRT isn't just about activities like this, there's now no reason not to incorporate them, or think about similar activities as part of the lesson plan.

 Does Culturally Relevant Teaching Work? An Examination From Student Perspectives 

This research paper gives light to the students' perspective regarding Culturally Relevant Teaching across racial groups and demographics.]]> 2021-08-23 17:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nhait2/lcj4ppi3zhnjcazy/wish/1691733890 Mr. Heywood "Culturally Responsive Teaching" (Block Scheduling) https://padlet.com/nhait2/lcj4ppi3zhnjcazy/wish/1691735073 We can acknowledge what ALL students from all backgrounds bring to our classroom by centering the learning around their experiences as students. We can do this by incorporating time within certain classes, or a portion of each class during the blocks, where we include culturally diverse topics within our curriculum that allow us to validate students within that culture. ]]> 2021-08-23 17:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nhait2/lcj4ppi3zhnjcazy/wish/1691735073 https://padlet.com/nhait2/lcj4ppi3zhnjcazy/wish/1691737328 “In culturally responsive pedagogy, the classroom is acritical container for empowering marginalized students. It serves as a space that reflects the values of trust, partnership, and academic mindset that are at itscore.”
To me a welcoming, safe, trusting and relaxed classroom community is so important for our learners. It helps to support our dependent learners reach more toward independent learning. Culturally responsive pedagogy means you are there for all your kids; not holding their hand, but cheering them on. Culturally responsive teaching is about feeling safe to take risks, and safe to be seen. Every child deserves to feel safe in their learning community; valued, trusted, and loved.
