Welcome to Connect FCS Ed, thank you so much for listening. I'm your host Barbara Scully. Sharing our stories inspires and turns into action. Do not be afraid of your own voice. It's a tool. This summer I am going to focus on personal wellness and summer adventures with my family. I am not going to sit in front of my computer for hours turning my curriculum into online content, or working on my master's degree or figuring out how to podcast, but this summer I am taking my family to the Grand Canyon to explore. I am excited to continue my journey with you and bring the Connect FCS Ed podcast back to you in early September when we all are back in school. The goal for myself is to always outdo myself to bring you meaningful content and resources that will help you be a better teacher and how to help your students learn. Together, we are better together! Let's make an impact with #FCSStorytelling. The future is exciting!

Welcome to Connect FCS Ed, thank you so much for listening. I'm your host Barbara Scully. Today I'm ging to be talking about being culturally responsive and what that means, so I picked up a culturally responsive teaching from 1994, so it might be a little old, but it is still as relevant today as it was back 20 plus years ago. So this is what they have to say. Culture is central to learning, it plays a role not only in communicating and receiving information, but also in shaping the thinking process of groups and individuals, a pedagogy that acknowledges responds to and celebrates fundamental cultures offers full equitable access to education for students from all cultures, culturally responsive teaching is a pedagogy that recognizes the importance of including students cultural references in all aspects of learning. So, let's get started and hone in on communication of high expectations and student-centered instruction.
