Cultural Literacy for the Common Core: Six Steps to Powerful Practical Instruction for All Learners - Softcover

"In a time when terms like culture and culturally relevant have become clich, Bonnie M. Davis brings meaning and authenticity to this important topic with her six-step framework. This book makes important connections between what we know is necessary for student success, such as the use of high-yield strategies, with what we often don't focus on, making sure instruction is culturally relevant. Unfortunately, the significance of culture with initiatives like the Common Core is not often recognized, which makes Cultural Literacy for the Common Core all the more important and a must-read for teachers, principals, and district leaders." -- Sharroky Hollie "Cofounder of the Culture and Language Academy of Success, Los Angeles, and Assistant Professor of Teacher Education, California State University, Dominguez Hills"
