Eliminating the racial and ethnic achievement gap in reading and writing is one of our priorities. Providing literacy instruction that is both culturally responsive and evidence-based requires an understanding of culture, effective instructional practices, and how the two intersect.

Culturally responsive literacy instruction is instruction that bridges the gap between the school and the world of the student and is consistent with the values of the students' own culture aimed at assuring academic learning and encourages teachers to adapt their instruction to meet the learning needs of all students.

Join us to learn more about how we do this each day in the classroom.
