Summary: | This is an unprecedented time for U.S. schools: a pandemic has upended education for millions of students and families in the midst of nationwide protests for Black lives. These crises have put a spotlight on disparities that have long plagued the education system. These enormous challenges cannot be addressed without culturally responsive teachers. There are many frameworks and ways to think about culturally responsive teaching. Building on this scholarship, New America developed a set of eight core competencies that describe what culturally responsive teachers know and do. This resource offers a set of reflection questions that make self-appraisal, goal setting, and critical conversations across the eight culturally responsive teaching competencies more concrete. This resource also shares research evidence that describes the benefits of culturally responsive teaching. This resource is intended to enable teachers and those who support them to promote rigorous and relevant learning that leads to the engagement, achievement, and empowerment of all learners. |
