Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Among Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students by Zaretta L. Hammond

4.0

A fantastic book on culturally responsive teaching. My main complaint about the book is that I, personally, think it takes a little too much time to get around to the "good stuff". I enjoy a good discussion and dissection of information as much as the next person, but it genuinely came across sometimes as if the actionable information provided in the last two chapters was held back so as to keep you reading. This book could have either been significantly shorter, or much, much longer with more examples, instruction, and anecdotes. Additionally, I would have liked to get some quotes from students as well as the teachers. I would have wished to see how the effects looked from their end.
