A Standards Movement in the Spirit of Expeditionary Learning

The article "A Standards Movement in the Spirit of Expeditionary Learning" supports culturally responsive teaching strategies in many ways. The students are involved in authentic learning/assessments which helps them build bridges of meaningfulness between home and school experiences. The students are also able to work with professionals in that fieldwork. This project seems that it uses a wide variety of instructional strategies that are connected to different learning styles. Students are up out of their seats experiencing hands on activities. Another strategy this project is most likely using is using small groups to foster collaborative learning which in turn means the students should be encouraging each other to know and listen to each other. This project supports many aspects and strategies of culturally responsive teaching.

  1. Good connections between culturally responsive teaching and constructivist approaches to teaching.
