Element A7: Teacher Strategies/Moves that Are Culturally Responsive
Element A7: Teacher Strategies/Moves that Are Culturally Responsive
Description: Teachers use integrated CT instructional strategies/moves and materials that address the needs of diverse learners, supports and teaching through a lens that incorporates connections to students' lives and home cultures.
What effective implementation looks like:
- When I integrate CT, I implement a range of instructional strategies for the purposes of addressing the particular needs and interests of individual learners and groups of students such as using the SIOP model for English learners
- I integrate CS/CT instruction through a culturally responsive and racial equity lens
Self-Reflection Question: Do the CT lessons and activities I implement provide my students with opportunities that reflect their individual needs and interests? What supports do I need to help me achieve my goal?
