Together we will explore the concepts and techniques of culturally responsive classroom practices. Through hands-on activities and inquiry, teachers will acquire strategies for addressing issues concerning class, race and gender in the classroom. Projects may include the Equality Mobile, Dialogue Groups, Silent Conversations, Gallery Writing and the Circle of Power. Philosophy on culturally responsive teaching will be drawn from expert sources in the field including Lisa Delpit, Peggy McIntosh, Beverly Daniel Tatum, Bill Ayers, and others. *Fulfills the MSUNER requirement for Culturally Responsive Teaching.
