I believe instructional coaches are the linchpin in our quest for equity. They need the right bodies of culturally responsive knowledge, not one-off strategies to share with teachers.
Give my recent convo with Jim Knight a listen.
Episode 16 of Coaching Conversations is out NOW! Tune in as @jimknight99 & Zaretta Hammond @Ready4rigor break down culturally responsive teaching + how teachers can help students transform into independent learners.
