I have been a Middle School Teacher for over 18 years and in the last two years I have worked as a coach and reading interventionist. I definitely see the value, and purpose of using the CRSE framework in instructional practices. For one thing, lessons become student-centered and student voices are elevated. It is truly exciting when students see themselves in the lesson and exchange ideas authentically throughout the lesson.
I am really reflecting these days on how to bring this Module to life in our school and support teachers in developing lessons that are not only culturally responsive but provide students with a platform for social justice. I feel like teachers sometimes see it as an "added component" in teaching instead of a culture of celebration for all voices that helps students to become change agents.
