Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Among Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students by Zaretta Lynn Hammond, Yvette Jackson

3.25

It starts off strong with connections between brain research and student action and reaction, but the book fails for me at the end, with rote recommended practices from experts such as Marzano that are the same practices teachers have been told to utilize for fifty years with culturally and linguistically homogenous students as well. The cultural notes and assumptions also sometimes feel dated, even for a book published in 2015.
