RESPONSIVE CLASSROOM
RC strategies are an essential and expected part of
our instructional practice here at Brownsville. RC
provides strategies that help us respect students for
who they are. Our Culturally Responsive Teaching
work supports these strategies as well. For example,
while delivering instruction or supervising students
we must often group them to participate in activities.
It is important that we use strategies that keep students
from having to make uncomfortable choices.
Classroom activities that are gender-based can create
these uncomfortable choices. Having students sit “boy/girl”
or dividing a class up in this way are examples of what
not to do. There are several other ways to do this to keep
students from having to make an uncomfortable choice:
- Divide by 1s, 2s, 3s,...
- Birthday months
- Table colors
- Alphabet, etc.
We are all working together to raise our awareness and use
the appropriate RC and CRT strategies when implementing
activities that require students to divide up into groups.
