Join Jim and Zaretta Hammond in this episode of Coaching Conversations as they break down culturally responsive teaching and how teachers can be powerful catalysts in helping students transform into cognitively independent learners. Follow along as they discuss the impact of applying the science of learning through active demandingness, instructional equity, setting goals, and building students’ confidence to accelerate and bring joy into learning for all students.
