Status Updates From Culturally Responsive Teach...

I’m caught up in time for book club! 🎉 🎉

The book told me to read it with a highlighter. 😩 I can’t doooo that to a book!

Trying to get ahead so I’m not scrambling the night before summer book club!!

Completed this first part of this book, and while nothing was relatively new for me, I am excited about the potential that this book offers. I hope that it offers realistic practices that I can bring to my classroom.

So good!

TL;DR - this may be the best book on management that I've read.

I'm not done yet, but I want to capture this. I haven't read a book for teachers since I was a teacher. But, I consistently think that what makes the best teachers also makes the best leaders and the best managers.

If you're a people manager that wants to learn, READ THIS. Learn to parallel classroom engagement with work engagement.

Made it to Part II

I really enjoyed chapter 3...

It fits my vocational growth goals, and my current role as a teacher. Excited about this book!

Finally getting to this!

Definitely a great read so far. I have been interested in reading this for a while, so I'm glad one of the courses I'm taking for PD is a book study of this book! I am already learning new things and reinforcing knowledge that I have.

This is a textbook so I will read it w/ care, as w/ Cixous's work.

So many things to think about!

I have been waiting to read this for when I thought I could give it the consideration it deserves.

This book has been on my currently reading shelf for too long, I need to finish it.

Good book, but a tough read. I suggest reading chapter by chapter and allowing yourself a lot of think time. Will certainly be rereading.

"Think of culture as software for the brain's hardware."

I'm having a hard time getting past the typos. P. 43 and five have stood out. Is it possible I bought an pre-proof copy on Amazon? Anyone else notice all the errors?

I agree with the concepts of this book so far. Not crazy about some of the language she uses separating "Whites" and "People of Color" but the background info of how the brain works in relation to students who are dependent learners is spot on.

I recommend this to all educators. Wish I had this info years ago!

Excellent

So fascinating to link culture, the brain, relationships, and teaching. Will definitely rate it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We routinely put the less experienced teachers with the neediest students. No other profession does this. Page 31

As a result, Inequality doesn't look like the Jim Crow laws of the pre-Civil Rights era. Instead, it takes the form of seemingly benign institutional practices or structures that reduce and limit opportunities for people of color, poor people, and immigrants.

I like that this book is now getting into suggestions for the classroom and not just theory.
