  • 1.12 - Culturally-Relevant and Culturally-Responsive Pedagogy

    All students and communities come with cultural and linguistic assets, and deserve to be treated with dignity, fairness, respect, and unconditional positive regard.

Confronting our own bias is important work for us to do if we are to truly set high expectations for all student.
