Welcome back to another episode of Confessions of a PYP Teacher.  We are continuing our exploration of Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain by Zaretta Hammond.  This week, we will examine the influence of culture and shine light on our need for awareness.

Zaretta Hammond states, “Building background knowledge begins with becoming knowledgeable about the dimensions of culture as well as knowledgeable about the larger social, political, and economic conditions that create inequitable education outcomes…teachers also have to be aware of their beliefs regarding equity and culture.”

What are some of the ideas that pop to your mind?  Listen to this episode to find out more.
