Culturally Responsive Standards-Based Teaching : Classroom to Community and Back

Culturally Responsive Standards-Based Teaching helps primary and secondary teachers increase student motivation and achievement, leading to higher levels of student success. The authors focus on how teachers can tap into the inherent knowledge and culture that every student brings into the classroom to complement a standards-based curriculum. The book includes detailed examples of what culturally responsive standards-based teaching (CRSBT) looks like in actual school settings and includes a number of self-assessment and school assessment inventories and tools for use in the classroom.
