Culturally Responsive Teaching and The Brain

A bold, brain-based teaching approach to culturally responsive instruction
To close the achievement gap, diverse classrooms need a proven framework for optimizing student engagement. Culturally responsive instruction has shown promise, but many teachers have struggled with its implementation - until now.
In this book, Zaretta Hammond draws on cutting-edge neuroscience research to offer an innovative approach for designing and implementing brain-compatible culturally responsive instruction.
The book includes:

• Information on how one's culture programs the brain to process data and affects learning relationships
• Ten "key moves" to build students'; learner operating systems and prepare them to become independent learners
• Prompts for action and valuable self-reflection
