Scenario:
Your school has been progressively making changes to promote an inclusive environment for all students. As part of these efforts, there is great interest from teachers to integrate culturally responsive pedagogy from a relevant, current, and collaborative approach.
You have taken a leadership role to draft a proposal for a schoolwide culturally responsive pedagogy and computing technology task force that will deepen culturally responsive experiences and awareness for students and enact systematic change. This proposal will be presented to the school’s administration.
Create a 1,000-1,250 word proposal that addresses the following:
- Resources and strategies to involve and assist teachers in managing learning environments to actively and equitably engage students. Include at least two ways technology can be used to increase cultural responsiveness within the learning environment.
- Methods for teachers to reflect on personal biases and access resources to deepen their own understanding of cultural, ethnic, gender, and learning differences. Describe how these methods will promote ethical practice, build stronger relationships, and create relevant learning experiences.
- Strategies that foster collaboration between colleagues, organizational leadership, and the community to build a safe, positive learning climate of openness, mutual respect, support, and inquiry.
Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
