C135 (Book Club): Creating an Alliance with our Learners (pg 88 -107)

Send us a textWelcome back my friends to another episode of Confessions of a PYP Teacher.  This episode speaks directly to my heart and I hope it will resonate with you too.  Zaretta Hammond focuses on building deep alliances with our learners in chapter 6 of Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain.  We will uncover some parts, but it’s not possible to unpack all of the ideas.  Have fun reading and finding your own nuggets of wisdom.  The chapter begins with a quote by Rita Pierson, “Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be.”This sets the stage for ways to support our learners by building a strong alliance, so learners can build an academic mindset over learned helplessness. For a written blog post and other resources, visit:   https://thinkchat2020.weebly.comThanks for listening!
