NWAESC(2246)---Novice Teacher Book Study: Culturally Responsive Teaching & the Brain ***ZOOM***



Designed for 2nd and 3rd year teachers, this *FREE* virtual book study will look at ways that teachers can improve the achievement gap for our culturally and linguistically diverse students. Zaretta Hammond's book Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain uses neuroscience to offer innovative approaches for designing culturally responsive instruction. Topics will include how culture programs the brain to learn and affects learning relationships and ways that teachers can build students' learner operating systems and prepare them to become independent learners. Teachers will be asked to read one chapter each month, reflect on their own actions, implement their new learning in the classroom, and be willing to reflect on implementation and next steps. Participants will receive the book and tools for implementation (books delivered to district offices prior to first meeting). Meetings will be the second Wednesday of each month from 3:30-4:30pm (9/9/20, 10/14/20, 11/11/20, 12/9/20, 1/13/21, 2/10/21, 3/10/21, 4/14/21, and 5/12/21). Attendance will be recorded at each meeting, and professional development credit will be given at the conclusion of the book study (max 18 hours). Space is limited to 100 participants.
