Culturally-Responsive Teaching
Under the advisement of Dr. Jianwei Zhang at SUNY Albany, I created a mini-course called Designing a Culturally Responsive Geometry Curriculum.
The mini-course is designed for all teachers. By the end of their participation, they will have accomplished the following:
Learners will develop an understanding of culturally-responsive teaching as evidenced by a written analysis of their own socio-political lens and how it might affect their teaching.
Learners will demonstrate the connections between. mathematics and social justice by brainstorming novel culturally responsive lesson ideas for a chosen geometry topic.
Learners will maintain a live document that will serve as a continually growing collection of resources for them as they begin to think of CRT in their own content area.
Learners will showcase the implementation of CRT in their classroom with a lesson plan, unit plan, or pacing guide that leans heavily on their students’ cultural identities and needs in the content they teach.
