what culturally responsive teaching looks like a DeSoto is that we use in query driven instructional practices to create an open space where students are able to bring their own questions don't you ask and their own home and community-based knowledge and of the classroom and they're able to vent use that to build the crucial skills that they need to be able to advance academically because new ideas skin rock with existing knowledge when students are able to interact with content history's literature ideas that are familiar to them that new idea is able to quickly learning speeds up tremendously restaurants are able to interact with content that is familiar to them one of the things that's been really successful here that said oh is asking teachers to ask their students about what is it that you know what do you see in your neighborhood that you want to know more about what are the problems Chester Community to go out and find credible sources find multiple perspectives on a problem and synthesize all those towards them developing their own perspective uninformed perspective towards taking some sort of an informed. this is a step away from really content-driven content-driven approach to social studies education and it makes the learning very very real very relevant and also quickly get a beginning understanding the learning that happens inside the classroom has a direct application to the outside world and their own real live experience the Canon of curriculum is familiar to the to the dominant social group in our country and so us bringing in content and ideas narratives history and literature that are familiar and Resident with our students experiences in their cultural identities is not a trick Equity right so when they're able to interact with pieces of literature and histories that resonate with their experience that they can ask their parents about it actually levels the playing field so that they're able to show up academically in a way that is consistent with maybe their Suburban counterparts
