Culturally Responsive Teaching: Book Study

Dear Teacher, 

Every where I look, it seems our country is fighting against itself asking who matters more. I really can't see a winner in all of this but I do know it is impacting the students in my classroom. To become better prepared to teach in the fall, I decided to read Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain by Zaretta Hammond. I have heard a lot of great things about this book. Who is ready to join me? 

How to Join the Book Study

You can join in this book study at any time! Remember, the point of Passionate Teaching is to do things when we do not feel stressed.  Simply look for the hashtag #DaisiesandChalkReads on Instagram then add a comment to the post or create your own using this hashtag. It is that simple!

For each chapter, I have asked a few thought provoking questions. Use these to help you dive deep into the book and discover ways to make your teaching better. Share these ideas with others and watch your teaching transform! ​

Format for the Book Study

I will announce what I am reading a week prior to starting the discussion. Each day will have 3 chapters to reflect on. You can do these all at once or one at a time. I just like to bundle them together to keep it easier to follow along on the blog. 

On Instagram, each chapter will appear separately so you can discuss the questions in depth and hear from other teachers who are reading the book as well. Simply look for the hashtag #DaisiesandChalkReads to join the discussion. 

​I purchase almost all of my books through Amazon. Below is an affiliate link to purchase this book and join in on our study.

​Before You Read

When I create a lesson plan, I use my standards to set a goal that I want to accomplish and work from there. 

Before I read any book, I take a moment to reflect on why I want to read this book. What do I want to get out of it?

Before making the purchase or committing to this study, I want you to ask yourself these question. Is this something you truly want to invest in at this time? ​
I am really excited to learn more about how the brain works. I especially want to explore rigor and how diversity blends together. I have learned a lot from Ms. Hammond's Website. On her blog, she is always adding more information that is not found in the book. 

Join me at #daisiesandchalksread on Instagram to share why you have chosen to read this book and what you hope to get out of it. 

Talk Soon,
​Misty
