Happy WEEKEND! Y'all, you did it again...another week in the books in 2021. I want you know that I am still smiling about Wednesday's PLC. I am not sure if you feel the same but I do believe they were the best we have ever had!!!!! You all have been so open and excited about what The Science of Reading could mean for our students. I love that you are feeling confident in trying out some new things in your classrooms and that you are sharing about them in PLC. I am so darn proud of everything your are doing!!!!
With that being said, I wanted to share about a training that I attended last Friday called Motivating & Engaging All Learners: Learning Partnerships. LaToya Caesar, our district Diversity and Inclusion Specialist, presented. Several things stuck with me from that training and I wanted to share a few.
How are we combating this? What are we doing in our schools and in our classrooms to support ALL students?
Culturally Responsive Teaching! I love the last line!!!! We are in relationships with our students. We are socially and emotionally connected. Culturally Responsive teaching is just that. Creating a SAFE space where ALL children can learn and feel successful in all SUBJECT areas including MATH!!!! Check this blog out below!!!! Mr. Elementary Math as an amazing post about what CRT looks like in the Math Classroom & tons of other awesome math tools!
And then there is this!!!!!! Guys when we talk about CRT it is about culture but it is also about INSTRUCTION! The Science of Reading is helping us with this big time!
I love this video from EDU about Culturally Responsive Teaching! Equity, Voices & RIGOR! Organize your instruction with different access points for students!As educators, we have sooo much to learn about CRT and our students. We are growing and we are life long learners. I would love to hear your thoughts about this post next week in PLC!
