By Sophie Degener, Adelfio Garcia, Ivy Sitkoski, and Martin Mireles

Document: Column  

Introductory Paragraph:  Teaching and learning in today’s classrooms require teachers to make their pedagogies culturally and linguistically responsive. The resources below provide enlightening resources teachers can rely on to meet their students’ cultural and language needs. For instance, the book by Gholdy Muhammad, Unearthing Joy, delivers many resources that engage readers in recovering their teaching joy. Although all recommended readings illuminate and guide teachers and educators to understand and appreciate students’ cultural and linguistic assets to enhance their academic lives in and out of school, we encourage our teachers and educators to entice their colleagues to join in their venture to continue supporting their students, especially those different from the mainstream.
