Publisher Description:
A bold, brain-based teaching approach to culturally responsive instruction


To close the achievement gap, diverse classrooms need a proven framework for optimizing student engagement. Culturally responsive instruction has shown promise, but many teachers have struggled with its implementation--until now.

In this book, Zaretta Hammond draws on cutting-edge neuroscience research to offer an innovative approach for designing and implementing brain-compatible culturally responsive instruction.

The book includes:

    Information on how one's culture programs the brain to process data and affects learning relationships Ten key moves to build students' learner operating systems and prepare them to become independent learners Prompts for action and valuable self-reflection
