PREFACE:

This space has been created for educators, administrators, parents, and youth advocates and attendees of “Cultivating the Genius of Black Children” as a forum for sharing experiences and reflections as they work through these resources. On this page, we invite and encourage you to share your experiences and reflections, ideas and insights and engage with others to address questions surrounding pedagogical narration and how we can incorporate documentation into practice.

While these resources are intended to offer an introduction on the subject of culturally responsive pedagogy, our list is not intended to be exhaustive and we welcome suggestions to other potential resources.

With our next event on May 8th, 2018 titled “Cultivating the Genius of Black Children” along with both the provided and suggested resources on this page, we hope readers will become (more) aware of their cultural practices and (re)commit themselves to becoming a culturally sensitive educator.
