A specific example for the "culturally responsive teaching practices" would be to do some research on the students' backgrounds to see where they are from and what learning styles are prevalent for their cultures. Many students come from strong oral learning traditions, so finding ways to incorporate more oral strategies would be a way to improve the situations for those students. Culturally responsive teaching is not about bringing certain ethnicity groups into the topics. It is about involving the learning strategies that are appropriate for students from diverse cultures. My favorite strategy is to use games. Games can easily be modified to involve many learning strategies that most kids can relate to. Kids of this age are almost all familiar with and enjoy playing games. They are a fun way to get kids to learn without realizing how much work they are doing. Oftentimes, the games are just as much fun for the teacher as they are for the student. - MDP response from the scored Chap 3 assignment. I agree with your interpretations of culturally responsive teaching. Those are great suggestions! We can learn so much from the students, themselves. If your classroom becomes a safe and trusting community of inquiry (as I'm sure it will) your students may respect each other by times for sharing (better word?) or what makes each one unique, perhaps through projects, presentations, bulletin boards, discussion boards, etc. Be creative and know this is an important concept and goal in today's classrooms! Prof. N. (6-01-2016) Thank you!

Please read through notes/comments on these articles and use for a model on your assignment for June 8.

I was also shocked at the statistics of adolescent readers reading below level, but it continues to be a problem, as you noted with your experiences in classrooms. Reading for meaning like before-during-after reading strategies is not all that simple for the majority of readers, if not a completely new idea. We must teach students (and you're right that we all learn differently) ways to be motivated (self-reflect and summarize) to deeply understand texts especially in content areas. It is interesting that you brought up the idea of how you were taught reading strategies (or not taught) and compared what you noticed about how students are reading in both secondary and college level. Thanks, Mike. You are going to be a dynamic and reflective teacher!
