Since last year, we have been investigating culturally relevant pedagogy and culturally responsive teaching in 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 education. This is an important part of our 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 to understand how to make 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 accessible to all young people. We are now continuing our work in this area with a new project, bridging our 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 team here at the 把女人弄爽特黄a大片片 and the team at the 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Pi 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Education 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Centre, which we jointly created with the University of Cambridge in its Department of Computer Science and Technology.

Across both organisations, we’ve got great ambitions for the Centre, and I’m delighted to have been appointed as its Director. It’s a great privilege to lead this work. 

What do we mean by culturally relevant pedagogy?

Culturally relevant pedagogy is a framework for teaching that emphasises the importance of incorporating and valuing all learners’ knowledge, ways of learning, and heritage. It promotes the development of learners’ critical consciousness of the world and encourages them to ask questions about ethics, power, privilege, and social justice. Culturally relevant pedagogy emphasises opportunities to address issues that are important to learners and their communities.

Culturally responsive teaching builds on the framework above to identify a range of teaching practices that can be implemented in the classroom. These include:

• Drawing on learners’ cultural knowledge and 把女人弄爽特黄a大片片s to inform the 把女人弄爽特黄a大片片
• Providing opportunities for learners to choose personally meaningful projects and express their own cultural identities
• Exploring issues of social justice and bias

The story so far

The overall objective of our work in this area is to further our understanding of ways to engage underrepresented groups in 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频. In 2021, funded by a Special Projects Grant from ACM’s Special Interest Group in Computer Science Education (SIGCSE), we established a working group of teachers and academics who met up over the course of three months to explore and discuss culturally relevant pedagogy. The result was a collaboratively written set of practical guidelines about culturally relevant and responsive teaching for classroom educators.

The video below is an introduction for teachers who may not be familiar with the topic, showing the perspectives of three members of the working group and their students. You can also find other resources that resulted from this first phase of the work, and read our Special Projects Report.

We’re really excited that, having developed the guidelines, we can now focus on how culturally responsive 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 teaching can be implemented in English schools through a new, related project supported by funding from Google. This funding continues Google’s commitment to grow the impact of computer science education in schools, which included a £1 million donation to support us and other organisations to develop online courses for teachers.

The next phase of work

In our new project, we want to learn from practitioners how culturally responsive 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 teaching can be implemented in classrooms in England, by supporting teachers to plan activities, and listening carefully to their 把女人弄爽特黄a大片片s in school. Our approach is similar to the 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频-Practice-Partnership (RPP) approach used extensively in the USA to develop 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 in 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 education; this approach hasn’t yet been used in the UK. In this way, we hope to further develop and improve the guidelines with exemplars and case studies, and to increase our understanding of teachers’ motivations and beliefs with respect to culturally responsive 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 teaching.

The pilot phase of this project starts this month and will run until December 2022. During this phase, we will work with a small group of schools around London, Essex, and Cambridgeshire. Longer-term, we aim to scale up this work across the UK.

The project will be centred around two workshops held in participating teachers’ schools during the first half of the year. In the first workshop, teachers will work together with facilitators from the 把女人弄爽特黄a大片片 and the 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Pi 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Education 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Centre to discuss culturally responsive 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 teaching and how to make use of the guidelines in adapting existing lessons and programmes of study. The second workshop will take place after the teachers have implemented the guidelines in their classroom, and it will be structured around a discussion of the teachers’ 把女人弄爽特黄a大片片s and suggestions for iteration of the guidelines. We will also be using a visual 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 methodology to create a number of videos representing the new knowledge gleaned from all participants’ 把女人弄爽特黄a大片片s of the project. We’re looking forward to sharing the results of the project later on in the year. 

We’re delighted that Dr Polly Card will be leading the work on this project at the 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Pi 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Education 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Centre, University of Cambridge, together with Saman Rizvi in the 把女人弄爽特黄a大片片’s 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 team and Katie Vanderpere-Brown, Assistant Headteacher, Saffron Walden County High School, Essex and 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Lead of the NCCE London, Hertfordshire and Essex 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 Hub.

More about equity, diversity, and inclusion in 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 education

We hold monthly 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 seminars here at the 把女人弄爽特黄a大片片, and in the first half of 2021, we invited speakers who focus on a range of topics relating to equity, diversity, and inclusion in 把女人弄爽特黄a大片视频 education.

As well as holding seminars and building a community of interested people around them, we share the insights from speakers and attendees through video recordings of the sessions, blog posts, and the speakers’ presentation slides. We also publish a series of seminar proceedings with referenced chapters written by the speakers.

You can download your copy of the proceedings of the equity, diversity, and inclusion series now.
