Episode #124: Checking In: Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain

-

Main Theme

In this episode, Carrie and Tanya revisit some thoughts regarding our 2022 Summer Book Club selection Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain by Zaretta Hammond.

Things we mention in this episode:

Know Better, Do Better

Tanya recommends following the work of Ashley Cuthbertson. Ashley is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to culturally responsive music education. She offers workshops, online PD, a blog, and has an active social media presence with lots of live videos.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Carrie recommends investing in a mailbox system (like a choir folder organizer) where students can store Chromebooks or iPads when they are not in use.
