Description: 
We’re all familiar with the terms “culturally relevant instruction” and “culturally responsive teaching,” -- but what does it REALLY entail? In this episode, Rolanda Baldwin, Vice President of Mathematics at UnboundEd, unpacks the idea, orienting teachers to four essential components they can use to create meaningful learning experiences that honor all students in the math classroom. Listen in to hear why talking about standards isn’t enough to change disparate outcomes and how aligned curricula can serve as a springboard for strong teaching and learning.
Summary & Highlights: 
In this episode, Chrissy interviews Rolanda Baldwin, the Vice President of Mathematics at UnboundEd. In their conversation, Rolanda shares:
  • the meaning of “culturally responsive teaching” and why her team decided to study and unpack what it looks like in the classroom
  • why culturally responsive teaching is necessary to change disparate outcomes for students of color 
  • examples illustrating why enacting a high quality curriculum is not enough to disrupt systemic racism perpetuated in the math education system
  • how Grade-level, Engaging, Affirming and Meaningful Instruction™ relates to equity, and what each component entails
  • ​7 ways teachers can take and apply this idea in their classrooms: (1) know your students as people, (2) redefine mathematical success, (3) leverage formative assessment for targeted support of students, (4) elevate student voice and make space, (5) build your own cultural competence, (6) connect accepted math classroom practices to white supremacy culture, (7) deepen your content knowledge so that you can recognize the brilliance of your students in non-conventional ways
