Educators learn from and about their students' culture,
language, and learning styles to make instruction more meaningful and
relevant to their students' lives (Apthorp, D'Amato, & Richardson,
2003; Lee, 2003; Lipka, 2002). |
Local knowledge, language, and culture are fully integrated into the
curriculum, not added on to it (Demmert, 2001; Hollins, 1996). |
| A climate of caring, respect, and the valuing of
students' cultures is fostered in the school and classroom (Cooper,
2002; Gay, 2000; Ginsberg & Wlodkowski, 2000; Kadson-Billings, 1994;
Sheets, 1995; Tharp, 1982; Waxman & Tellez, 2002) |
Bridges are built between academic learning and students; prior
understanding, knowledge, native language, and values (Conrad, Gong,
Sipp,& Wright, 2004; Doherty, et al., 2003; Ginsberg & Wlodkowski,
2003). |
| School staff build trust and partnerships with families,
especially with families marginalized by school in the past (Bryk &
Schneider, 2002; Cooper, 2002; Demmert, 2001; Henderson & Mapp, 2002;
Sosa, 1997; Trumbull, Rothstein-Fisch, Greenfield, & Quiroz, 2001; Young
1998). |
Staff members hold students to high standards and have high
expectations for all students (Cooper, 2002; Hill, Kawagley, & Barnhardt,
2003; Sheets, 1995; Waxman & Tellez, 2002) |
