The LEARN Framework Podcast Dr. Dwayne D. Williams

- Onderwijs
Thousands of educators across the country read popular books on culturally responsive teaching and attend hours of training on the topic, yet cannot design culturally meaningful practices. This happens because most books and training materials focus on theories related to White privilege, social justice, implicit bias, and other concepts–but fail to teach educators how to design and redesign their instructional practices in culturally meaningful ways. Unlike these resources, The LEARN Framework Podcast provides practical steps for stakeholders who have goals to create culturally meaningful practices but need help figuring out where to start. The primary tool we use to coach educators through the design process is the LEARN framework, which comprises five action steps to develop culturally meaningful activities. In this podcast, school psychologist and host Dr. Dwayne D. Williams shares five steps to designing culturally meaningful practices, essential tools to design and redesign instructional activities in culturally meaningful ways, and examples of culturally meaningful evidence-based activities any teacher can employ in any classroom. Dr. Williams also interviews teachers and administrators applying LEARN’s five design principles to illustrate the design process.

A Need for Revival: Reviving Equity and Culturally Responsive Teaching in the Classroom
In this episode, we introduce our new and first podcast series–The Need for Revival: Reviving Equity and Culturally Responsive Teaching in Schools. In 2020, when Derick Chauvin murdered George Floyd, school districts responded by hiring equity coaches, providing antiracism training, and offering strategies for culturally responsive teaching. Inspired to take action, many educators joined Facebook groups and other social media platforms aimed at designing culturally meaningful and equitable practices. Motivated by the time, educators worked during the summer on equity efforts without pay to prepare for the school year.
Now, in 2024, school districts cannot pay some teachers enough to engage with equity work; some educational leaders have decided not to use the word “equity” in their language as a strategy to get teachers to attend meetings related to diversity, equity, and inclusion; and teachers who were fired up to engage with equity and culturally responsive teaching in 2020 now work in isolation in their classrooms apart from equity teams and communities.
What has happened since 2020? What has caused teachers to become jaded with equity efforts?
In this podcast episode, I discuss what happened. I introduce our first podcast series aimed at helping equity directors, coaches, and leaders, in general, revive equity efforts in their buildings. If you want to enhance your equity efforts in your building, you DO NOT want to miss this series!
Learn how this series will help you revive equity and culturally responsive teaching in your buildings.
We need a real revival! -
