The Stories Our Students Carry
Culturally Responsive Pedagogy
Culturally responsive teaching begins with the recognition that learning doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Teachers must carefully navigate curricular needs while building a foundation of trust and respect with students, each of whom carries unique stories and experiences into the classroom. In this episode, we explore the work of scholars who study those intersections: between school and family, the individual and their culture, classroom lessons and the many other concerns crowding a young learner’s mind.
