Rethinking English: Culturally Responsive Classrooms - Indigenous Writes by Chelsea Vowel. On Jun 16, 1944: Fourteen-Year-Old George Stinney Executed in South Carolina. On June 16, 1944, George Stinney Jr., a ninety-pound, black, fourteen-year-old boy, was executed in the electric chair in Columbia, South Carolina.
Three months earlier, on March 24, George and his sister were playing in their yard when two young white girls briefly approached and asked where they could find flowers. Hours later, the girls failed to return home and a search party was organized to find them. George joined the search party and casually mentioned to a bystander that he had seen the girls earlier. The following morning, their dead bodies were found in a shallow ditch. George was immediately arrested for the murders and subjected to hours of interrogation without his parents or an attorney. On April 24, George Stinney faced a sham trial virtually alone. Get Started.

The Anti Racist Teacher – The Multicultural Classroom. Anti-racism resources for white people. How to Develop Culturally Responsive Teaching for Distance Learning. Hammond distinguishes the differences between culturally responsive education, multicultural education and social justice education.
Each is important, but without a focus on building students’ brain power, they will experience learning loss. When it comes to distance learning, applying culturally responsive teaching requires “remixing” education by borrowing from the best practices in how kids learn (Montessori, project-based learning, etc.) in a way that repositions the student as the leader of his own learning. By giving students more agency, the idea is to disrupt old routines around teaching and learning that make the student dependent on the teacher for receiving knowledge. “It’s going to stretch us a little out of our own comfort zones, but it’s worth it in the long run if we can get students to continue to do that thinking,” said Hammond.
She advises three strategies to help students gain that independence: 1. “Survey your students if you don’t know what they like,” said Hammond.

The murder of George Floyd has shined a spotlight on police brutality and racial injustice.
But we also need to open our eyes to the less obvious devastation our education system inflicts on millions of black and brown students. On national tests last year, only 18 percent of black 4th-graders scored proficient or above in reading; the figure for white 4th-graders was 45 percent. For 8th graders, the percentages were 15 and 42 percent. It’s sobering that over half of white students fail to meet the proficiency bar. But the figures for black students should outrage anyone who cares about social justice. Want to know something even more outrageous? Reading scores for black, Hispanic, and low-income students have been so low for so long, and efforts to raise them have been so fruitless, that many have come to simply accept them.
