This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Penguin Random House Education.The webinar recording can be accessed here.As educators, we know the value of literacy and the importance of creating a reading culture for students. However, many of our high school students haven't become readers or do not see themselves as readers due, in no small part, to the books they are required to read, books of little interest or relevance. It is thus even more vital that space and time are provided for high school students to freely select high-interest books that focus on fostering and affirming students' reader identities. This should include multiple reading modes from fiction to nonfiction stories and traditional formats to graphic novels at varying reading levels.Listen to this edWeb podcast with Cicely Lewis, educator, author, and 2020 School Library Journal Librarian of the Year, Morgan Taylor, high school English teacher, instructional coach, and co-founder of Little Classroom Library, and Ronell Whitaker, ELA and LRC Curriculum Director, to learn more about ways to equip high school educators with the strategies to go beyond the literary canon to incorporate a wide range of texts that represent different experiences, identities, and cultures we have in our schools. Unifying themes including belonging, identity, and resiliency will be discussed as well as ways for teachers to make connections to current curricula.This edWeb podcast is of interest to high school teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders.Penguin Random House Education We foster a universal passion for reading to inform, educate and inspire.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

On this episode of Mind The Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Zaretta Hammond. The three of them talk through much of Zaretta's work, identifying the components of the ready for rigor framework, the differences between 'shallow' and 'deep' culture, and how culturally responsive teaching involves leveraging cultures to create a richer learning environment. They also cover how to build a rapport with students, the idea of 'active demandingness', and finally close on the idea that teaching isn't the art of being nice - it is readying students for rigour (or rigor), as there is a natural joy and satisfaction that emerges from rigorous learning. Zaretta Hammond is a former classroom English teacher who has been doing instructional design, school coaching, and professional development around the issues of equity, literacy, and culturally responsive teaching for the past 18 years.

Closing the gap - Why cultural safety matters in promoting mental health, equity, inclusion, and resilient minds in education settings? - Unpacking culturally responsive teaching and trauma-informed care.Balaji Somasundaram and Meera Balaji – We are husband and wife and were lawyers for 20 years in India in our past lives with a focus on children's rights and family law. Currently, we are registered teachers/specialist educators in Aotearoa New Zealand and working as Learning Support Coordinators across 12 schools and 13 Early Childhood Centres in Wellington, the capital city of Aotearoa, New Zealand in an area of significant socioeconomic deprivation.We believe we are in a distinctive position to recognize our students and their families' perspectives, narratives, and ongoing challenges as we strive to provide appropriate support services through timely actions to heal trauma and buffer its negative effects. We are passionate advocates for social justice, inclusion, and diversity both in our personal and professional lives. As educators from a minority culture in New Zealand, we firmly believe our children need to experience relationships around them with unconditional care, compassion, and commitment which will help to re-work their internal working models of themselves and the world around them. Despite barriers in different forms, the welfare of children has always been our utmost priority. Culturally responsive pedagogies and the work of Dr. Stephen Porges, the creator of Polyvagal Theory, underpins and is the foremost of the work we continue to do with the advocacy for our vulnerable children and young people who are at high risk.We have a Bachelors in Law, Masters in Educational Psychology, and another Masters in Specialist Teaching with a specialty in Autism Spectrum Disorder. We recently completed the one-year graduate Applied Educational Neuroscience program under Dr. Lori Desautels from Butler University, Indianapolis, and also completed Neurosequential Model in Education with Dr. Bruce Perry's Child Trauma Academy. We are also trained in evidence-based interventions and frameworks for autism - like TEACCH from the University of North Carolina, SCERTS, Early Start Denver Model, Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), Hanen's Four ‘Is' to socialize, which are widely used in New Zealand to support the needs of children and young people with autism. We both are also qualified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Beck Institute, Philadelphia, and trained teachers in Dyslexia.We have also been part of many advisory and research groups in New Zealand for culturally responsive pedagogies and recently were part of the advisory group for the new guidelines for minimizing physical restraints in New Zealand, which is a work in progress. Over the years, we have been working with and alongside neurodivergent learners, particularly autistic individuals, and are continuing to advocate/support their unique needs by embracing their strengths, voices, and perspectives both in Aotearoa, New Zealand, and India.Support the show

HammondTwitter: @ready4rigorInstagram: @crtandthebrainNewsletter sign up: www.crtandthebrain.comQuotes:“What I have come to believe is the obstacle is the way. So what worries me becomes my research project. What worries me becomes my new mission.”  —Zaretta Hammond“For me, justice is the mastery. I'm a movie fan and so I, in this case, think of Master Yoda all the time. You know, he said there's no try or not try. You're just doing it. Either you're teaching them to read or not.” —Zaretta Hammond“When that scaffold stays [up] too long, it becomes a crutch and the child actually believes they cannot learn without it.” —Zaretta Hammond“So this idea of somehow we get overprotective and we don't want them to fall. We don't want them to fail. We don't want them, you know, their self, self-esteem, to be bruised. We are actually doing that when we delay this because the only way we learn is through error. And we have not reframed errors as information.” —Zaretta Hammond“Number one, you assign yourself, and number two, you always go for mastery. Not a grade. No one will ever ask you about your grades four years after college, ever. Go for mastery. They will ask you what you know how to do.” —Zaretta Hammond

If you are listening to this podcast, there's a good chance you are a motivated educator looking for ways to improve your teaching and the classroom experiences of your students. And often that drive to improve comes with a price tag, one that's frequently and unfortunately left to the teacher to pay. My guest today is Dr. Kate Good, and we talk about how she made her vision of flexible seating in her classroom come to life through crowdfunding.  Kate is a Dual Language Immersion instructor and teacher mentor in Portland, Oregon. She opted to teach as a summer job 13 years ago, and since then, her teaching career has led her to classrooms in three states and two countries. Kate and I overlapped in graduate school at UNC Chapel Hill, where in 2018 she completed her PhD in Romance Studies. Kate planned to teach Spanish literature at a college or university. Two years later, though, she found herself in a middle school immersion classroom, populated with heritage speakers.Today Kate shares how she re-envisioned her post-pandemic classroom seating arrangement, how this change has positively affected her middle school students, and how she managed to raise the money from outside of her school and without dipping into her own personal bank account to make it happen.Below are links to some of the sites mentioned by Kate in the podcast. 1.

What will we do when students don't learn? There is a huge gap in knowing about practices that will help marginalized students accelerate their learning and actually implementing these practices to create a bigger impact in the classroom.  Zaretta Hammond is a national consultant and author of Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain. She has been supporting schools in deepening their understanding and application of culturally responsive practices for the past 20 years. In this episode, she is sharing how she helps equip and empower coaches with the information needed to manage change for equity, the missing piece in knowing strategy and what is actually being implemented, and the difference in instructional decision making and execution.  Grab a copy of the Simply Coaching Summit brochure here! https://simply-coaching-teaching-llc.ck.page/b0f655b7c1 Learn more about Zaretta Hammond: www.crtandthebrain.com Connect with me: Website: https://simplycoachingandteaching.com/ Simply Coaching Hub:  https://www.simplycoachinghub.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simplycoachingandteaching_ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/https://twitter.com/coachandteach Email: support@simplycoachingandteaching.com
