Culturally Responsive Education in Action

Описание: Teachers at Capital City Lighthouse Charter School in North Little Rock, Arkansas, were in for a unique professional development opportunity. Unlike a typical training session, on this late summer day teachers would learn directly from students. Teachers heard first hand student reflections about their school experiences and how well their classes reflected their identities and interests.
Culturally responsive education is an essential element of empowering teachers and students to promote equity in the classroom and social justice in the community. There is no better time in this period of reckoning to do this work.
