Review
This book demonstrates high regard for the complexity of teaching and delivers an even higher regard for the promise and academic potential of the students we’ve made most vulnerable in our school systems if we, as educators, choose to act on what we know. This book should be required reading for every teacher education program in the country!"
-- LaShawn Routé Chatmon, Executive Director Published On: 2014-08-12"All students can and will learn at high levels when provided the type of instruction described in this book. This work calls us to action by mandating that we move beyond looking for student outcomes that rely heavily on the regurgitation of memorized facts to applying the information learned to new situations. Each child’s life outcomes are dependent on their ability to think critically. Dr. Hammond does just that in this book. She uses her mind well, writes effectively and provides analysis on the connection between brain-based science and culturally responsive instruction. This is a must read for those wishing to have a mindset shift and aptly implement rigorous instructional practices to support all students." -- Kendra Ferguson, Chief of Schools Published On: 2014-08-26
"Drawing on the research form neuroscience Zaretta Hammond explains what we should have known all along – all children are capable of higher order thinking and capable of producing intellectually advanced work if provided the opportunity to learn by caring and capable adults. Hammond dose more than explain the research. Drawing on years of experience in schools as an educator and trainer, she shows how this can be done even in schools that have grown accustomed to failure. At a time when the nation is searching to find ways to close the racial achievement gap, this book will be an invaluable resource. " -- Pedro Noguera, Professor, NYU

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read for Every Educator - Especially New Teachers
As a new teacher, I found Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain to be incredibly eye-opening. Zaretta Hammond does an outstanding job connecting neuroscience to classroom practice, showing how the brain’s learning processes tie directly to how we teach — especially for Black and Brown students and those who have experienced trauma.This book helped me make connections I can’t believe I didn’t see before and has deeply influenced how I build relationships and design lessons. The concepts are practical, empowering, and immediately applicable to my own pedagogy. It’s a powerful read that every educator should experience.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Revolution in Teaching
This book is fantastic, a triumph; a truly ground-breaking work that may forever change the way teachers in America face the challenges of their profession. I’ve been a teacher for over thirty years and always felt I was pretty damn good at it, as good as anybody. But about halfway through my reading of Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain, I was suddenly stuck by the horrific realization that if I had known when I started teaching what Zaretta Hammond writes in this book, I would have been not just a good teacher, but perhaps a great one. I have always been focused on getting my students--whatever ethnic or socio-economic background they might have sprung from--to be interested in their studies and to give it their all. I tried my damnedest to motivate them to want to excel, not just in school, but in life. I sometimes succeeded, sometimes didn’t. I always smugly thought nobody (well, almost nobody) could do a better job than I was doing. But Ms. Hammond’s book destroyed that glib notion quickly. Reading her book was like being repeatedly, page by page, hit in the head with a brick. Soon I could see with absolute clarity that I could and should overhaul my thinking and my methods. By following the techniques suggested in Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain I could make quantum strides in my individual approach to each of my students and be confident that every last one of them could reach for and achieve their best.Before reading the book I’d thought of cultural responsive teaching as academic eduspeak sort of stuff, a fancy label for what good teachers have been doing all along--pumping up an underachieving kid’s self esteem, blah, blah, blah. But I now know I was dead wrong. When the teacher really gets tuned into a student’s culture and ethnic identity as described in Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain, the teacher forms a partnership of learning with the student that does more than just jack them up; it actually facilitates the growth of the student’s neuroplasticity (brain cell connections). How cool is that? Properly intellectually stimulated, a student will grow millions, if not hundreds of millions, new brain cells; brain cells with trillions of synaptic connections that will enable the student to think in more intellectually sophisticated ways, as a bulked-up muscle will enable an athlete to pump more iron. A pumped-up dependent learner is soon transformed into an independent learner. What is called the “achievement gap” between high functioning independent learners and low functioning dependent learners disappears.Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain goes on to show how culture is the way that the brain makes sense of the world and forms our world view. We all adhere to two basic cultural archetypes, collective and individual. It tells you how to use these archetypes to create the environment to help the student to transcend the achievement gap in a step-by-step process that is complex, yet easy to follow. Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain is therefore a rich resource of techniques for transforming the lives of students. I’m sorry that I can only give it five stars: that’s the maximum that Bolo allows. It deserves ten. It’s readable, profound, and empowering. Using neuroscience, it brilliantly takes learning theory to a deeper level without being esoteric or pedantic. No teacher should get in front of a classroom until she or he has read and digested every paragraph of this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for all educators
Essential reading for all educators. Has been a deeply important and transformative text in my practice. Teacher of 20 years.
5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal book for any teachers
I highly recommend this book which is helping develop my pedagogy and helping me be the best teacher I can be. Buy this book! It's an important read!
4.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction to Subject
Needs more viewpoints and other cultures included, but a good start. When Rs are attacking education, this one could be flipped through and attacked, but if they took the time to read it, think, and reflect a little before going apes, they might agree that not every person enters the human race at the same starting point. I would like to see more rural areas represented and more of the working poor culture represented. Overall a good start to a complex subject.
5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, practical, and brilliant.
Best education book I’ve read in a long time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Evidance is great but actual tools to use in the class is the best!
Hammond delivers a book with just what an aspiring, culturally responsive educator needs. Awareness through Cultural self-reflection, Tools to build partnerships with students and, Tools to build intellectual capacity. All of her work is supported by neuroscience, guidance on reflection as a teacher, and applying these tools to all struggling students no matter their culture.She finds the common thread in the cultural archetypes and the concepts of individualism and collectivism. Hammond calls on all teachers to look deeply at Implicit bias and the structural rationalization in society.Hammond gives us reliable tools to become culturally responsive educators. . She reminds us that there are a myriad of tools we teachers can draw on. I found it so profound that if we could recognize and dismantle our cultural lens, these tools are essential to use with every student, no matter their cultural background.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for educators
Great book for educators - well worth reading!
It seems like this book is second hand?
There is damage to the spine of the book which has been covered with black marker and then a piece of white tape covering it. The quality of the print inside the book is good, but this particular book I recieved is not in brand new condition.
Culturally Responsive Teaching and The Brain is a MUST READ for all Education professionals.
This book is well written and loaded with relevant information that will add value to your practice and STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
All classroom staff should read this book!
All teachers and EAs should read this book. It goes beyond shallow culturally inclusive concepts and delves into reframing your classroom and pedagogical practice. It's a simple read and really interesting.
Insightful
As a white woman, I am always looking for a better understanding of different cultures. This will 100% help me understand my students better and keep my biases/privilege in check.
