Thoughtful, compelling content
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
This is the best material I have ever read about brain learning. Others are technically inaccurate and almost deficient. Hammond has assembled sound scientific justifications for a pedagogy that is applicable for all children, not just those traditionally underserved. EVERY beginning teacher should receive this book and every seasoned teacher will find suggestions within which will improve their classroom effectiveness.

Another reason why CRP should be done in every classroom, is another reason why : This gave the previous doubters scientific reasons why it must be done and why education must change its current practices! All teachers should read this book, but ESPECIALLY administrators! Parents should also read!

Pseudoscience
Derived From Web , Jun 17, 2021
The incorrect premise of this book is basic. There is a substantial variation in the genetic ability, which is largely cognitive in origin. Children do not all possess the same “wiring†and hence the same potential for “expansive learning â€. What the author experienced as a child and made her successful was good old-fashioned *education*. Not “culturally responsive †education. Her own path to a successful education - in her words - undermine the prescriptions she makes. Don 't bother with this Don 't bother ''.

Not what you expected
Derived From Web , Jun 5, 2021
There is a lot of right now being said about culturally responsive teaching. I am glad that I was able to participate in this book study at work to separate fact from fiction. In this book, rather than focusing on culture in the way we understand it, this book looks at the brain and culture and how our brain processes information based on how we were brought up. It was a very helpful book that showed me ways to help my students learn no matter what their background is. I look forward to using a lot of new strategies next year.

No cohesive thesis
Derived From Web , Dec 9, 2020
Just a jumble of theory lite. The author is clearly overly-impressed with their own fairly average intellect and there are a few practical takeaways. Disappointing Disappointing

Interesting book, not great condition for new
Derived From Web , Jul 30, 2020
While the book is interesting, the condition in which it arrived in had a crack across the spine. Two pages in the center had black ink print that discolored the pages readable, but it was unexpected for a damaged new item to be delivered.

Flawed logic and use of research
Derived From Web , Jun 22, 2020
Be careful with this book : be careful. Some of the author's assertions about teaching and the brain do not quote any sources, and when she does offer citations, some of them don't actually support the assertion she made. There may be value in her teaching framework and teaching strategies, but if you choose to read it, read it with a critical eye and evaluate the assumptions and generalizations that the author makes throughout the book.

I wish every teacher and school leader could read this book.
Derived From Web , Jul 25, 2019
Culturally responsive teaching and the brain offers sound guidance on how to prepare color students for success in school. Hammon makes a convincing case that our implicit biases and structural racialization have created a context in schools that are culturally and linguistically diverse students as dependent learners, thus denying them the opportunity to develop needed critical thinking abilities and become self-directed learners. She offers a clear explanation of brain science behind learning and details ways this science can be used to empower learners. This goes on to show us a step-by-step process for helping students to climb out of the achievement gap by first establishing a student-teacher learning partnership and then teaching the skills and dispositions needed by independent learners, this knowledge can make a tremendous difference in our ability to give all students access to the learning opportunities they need. A must-read!
