Reimagining Culturally Responsive Learning Spaces, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"How do we create and sustain culturally responsive classrooms and learning spaces?" This book supports educators in examining, implementing, and sustaining culturally responsive teaching and leadership practices across learning spaces, from K-12 and postsecondary education to community and other educational settings.

With particular attention to research, identity, positionality, and educational practice, the contributions in this book offer scholarship alongside concrete activities, instructional strategies, lesson ideas, and reflection questions that encourage educators and leaders to use reflection and self-examination as foundational practices. The book moves from the "macro" to the "micro" by first providing context for understanding culturally responsive teaching and leadership and then offering practices and strategies that support its implementation across disciplines and learning environments. Each chapter helps educators consider how their own experiences and positionality shape teaching and learning, examine the systems and practices that influence students' educational experiences, and identify meaningful starting points for creating more responsive and equitable learning spaces. Professional development groups, departments, and faculty learning communities can also use the book collectively to examine curriculum and pedagogy and to discuss how culturally responsive practices can be integrated and sustained across educational contexts.

This is an ideal resource for educators and leaders across K-12, postsecondary, and other learning spaces who are committed to creating and sustaining culturally responsive educational environments.
