Culturally Responsive Teaming
Description
This book explores a team-based approach to Culturally Responsive Education (CRE) - the collaborative spaces where lessons are planned, and relationships are formed. Drawing from his bestselling Culturally Responsive Education in the Classroom, education expert and coach Adeyemi Stembridge partners with educator Lindsey Stevens to unpack how teams can build the culture to support an environment for culturally responsive teaching practices and policies. Teaming habits can support (or hamper) teachers in developing and delivering culturally responsive strategies that truly work in classrooms, and this book helps educators collaborate on planning for learning experiences, fostering relationships, and understanding cultural identities to create rigorous and inclusive learning experiences for all students. The authors share insights, observations, and practical guidance for how school teams can enhance teaching and learning by composing a common understanding of teaming tasks, building trust, addressing common roadblocks, and holding space for the inelegant questions necessary in the pursuit of Equity.
