Episode Synopsis "Culturally Responsive Teaching"
In this podcast we'll discuss the history and challenges of culturally relevant pedagogy during the multi-pandemic of 2020 (that includes covid-19 and racial divisiveness, among other things), and offer listeners some insight into becoming more culturally relevant with hosts Alisha, Edie and Paula. During this podcast we will define cultural relevance, then discuss the challenges we face in using this pedagogy during the time of COVID and conclude with practical recommendations for the classroom.
