Improving Classroom Practice Through Culturally-Transformative Teaching (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983949633)

Volume IV builds on the cultural context developed in Volume I to develop the ability of both beginning and experienced teachers in all grade levels and instructional settings to demonstrate cultural and pedagogical competence in teaching culturally-transformative lessons. Readers of this volume obtain a comprehensive example of culturally-transformative teaching as a unique process which helps teachers get better and better at designing and conducting lessons to expand dominant-culture material. Part One provides insights into the concept, associated competencies, and a process for teaching culturally-transformative lessons. Part two presents a model for teaching culturally-transformative lessons. In Part Three the lesson framework and principles of the teaching model form the basis for a growth-oriented university, school, or district-wide teacher development and evaluation system.
