Description
Muhammad's Historically Responsive Literacy Framework is essential
for all students, especially youth of colour, who traditionally
have been marginalized in learning standards, school policies,
and classroom practices.
The framework promotes four learning goals-or pursuits: identity
development, skill development, intellectual development, criticality.
It is a work of considerable
strength and raises significant questions for all white practitioners
to ask themselves about their unconscious biases.
