Teaching With A Cultural Eye
The National Equity Project provides teachers and instructional leaders with the hands-on support they need to bring their daily instructional practice into alignment with their vision of a quality education for every child.
Teaching With a Cultural Eye raises awareness and develops skills for educators to teach and lead effectively in schools serving students and families from diverse backgrounds. This service is designed to build the cultural competence of teams to address instructional equity issues in classrooms, schools, and districts.
Teams can choose to focus on key areas of instructional practice development:
- Transformative assessment
- Equity-focused instructional planning
- Creating learning partnership with students
- Content-based support in math and vocabulary development to accelerate learning.
Teams from schools, districts or community organizations can participate in a 3-day institute or choose to embed an institute in a longer-term coaching engagement.
