Culturally Responsive Instructional Supervision (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

This book responds to the urgent need for instructional practices that recognize student diversity and cultural backgrounds as valuable assets. As the United States continues to grapple with policies that promote culturally dominant ideologies, the opportunity gaps continue to widen for minoritized, marginalized, and otherized PK-12 students. This timely book provides a comprehensive developmental framework for implementing Culturally Responsive Instructional Supervision that fosters an educational environment that disrupts the culture of white supremacy, promotes a sense of belonging, and achieves culturally appropriate instructional outcomes for all learners. The authors show educators how to establish diverse and representative supervision teams that provide formative feedback and promote self-reflection. Schools can use this book to effectively observe, assess, and support teachers on their journey toward becoming culturally responsive practitioners.

Book Features:
