Critical Culturally Sustaining Literacy Pedagogy and Advocacy Study Group

Session Submission Type: Study Group

Abstract

Our focus this year is on the threat to culturally sustaining pedagogy from curriculum standardization that is centered on narrow conceptions of reading and seeks to control what teachers say and do in their classrooms. We will work to understand culturally responsive literacy pedagogy through a critical lens. Through expert guest speakers facilitating group discussions about shared readings, we will deepen our knowledge and then plan for action and advocacy.
