MTA members may understand the importance of culturally responsive practices at school yet struggle to incorporate the idea into their practice - particularly for English learners. In this course, teachers will learn and implement a framework for culturally responsive teaching and the "how" of what this looks and sounds like in classrooms. Using a case study model, educators will discuss problems of practice and construct new classroom practices reflectively. By the end of this course, MTA educators will articulate foundational concepts for culturally relevant pedagogy for ELs and create overarching goals for a more embedded culturally relevant teaching practice.
