Summary of Zaretta L. Hammond's Culturally Responsive Teaching and The Brain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 The American education system has created an epidemic of dependent learners who are unprepared to do the higher order thinking and creative problem solving required by the new Common Core State Standards.

#2 The school-to-prison pipeline is a set of seemingly unconnected school policies and teacher instructional decisions that over time result in students of color not receiving adequate literacy and content instruction while being disproportionately disciplined for nonspecific, subjective offenses.

#3 The achievement gap between white and minority students is due to the fact that we don’t teach students with cognitively disadvantaged backgrounds the skills they need to be independent learners.

#4 Culturally responsive teaching is a pedagogical approach that helps students build intellective capacity, also called fluid intelligence and intellective competence. It is based on the learning theory and cognitive science.
