55 - Designing Curriculum That Supports Culturally Responsive Pedagogy - with Dionne Aminata

Culturally responsive teaching is a hot topic in education these days… but maybe the concept is still a little fuzzy to you. (Raising my hand over here!) That’s exactly the reason I invited Dionne Aminata, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Illustrative Mathematics (IM), to break it all down for us in this episode. Dionne was a lead author on the Illustrative Mathematics K-5 curriculum Writing team, and in that role she led the team to deliberately design materials to support culturally relevant and responsive pedagogy. Listen to hear the 3 specific design choices they made and examples of each. This episode is jam-packed with mic drop moments, lots of laughter, and “ah-has” at every turn.
