Building a Faculty's Skills in Culturally Relevant Teaching
Jones, Kel Hughes
Educational Leadership, v79 n3 p38-43 Nov 2021
Realizing that many teachers at her middle school struggled with classroom management--especially rather at sea with how to reach and motivate students of color--the author formed a teacher working group open to any colleague wanting to learn how to better reach the school's kids of color. This group reflected and learned together about working with marginalized students--including probing the role of biases. They presented often to the school's faculty, sharing ideas that increased all teachers' confidence.
