THANK YOU to the educators who attended our Learning Site at the Edison K-8 in Brighton on the topic “How do educators of color leverage their cultural identity to support the delivery of curriculum with authentic CLSP experiences in the elementary classroom?” Our host teacher was Bang Pham. Our debrief facilitator was Malcolm Andrews (Telescope Networkers). We had 5 participants join from 5 different BPS schools/departments join this session.

After the session, 100% of participants (11 out of 11 exit ticket responses) said that they would recommend this session to a colleague. Additional comments from participants:

“Observing instructional practices and discourse and collaborating with other educators.”
“How to build upon the lesson plan. I observed a teacher sharing a personal story.”
“Bang's class is fantastic. The relationship between him and his students is amazing.”
“I have a curriculum to follow but also bringing my authentic self and teaching skills can be very impactful in a positive way for student learning.”
