The teacher leader PLC focuses on culturally responsive education and learning partnerships. The group will utilize Zaretta Hammond’s Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain as a foundation for discussions on making teaching and learning more responsive and inclusive. PLC participants will be ready to apply a toolbox of culturally responsive education strategies and tools to strengthen teacher-teacher and teacher-student interactions through recognizing how growth mindset impacts learning, questioning to achieve more directed goal-setting, applying culturally responsive frameworks for learning and teaching, and using feedback models to foster constructive changes in learning and teaching.
