Cultivating Genius (30-copy pack)

In Cultivating Genius, Dr. Gholdy Muhammad presents a four-pronged equity framework-one that is grounded in history and restores excellence to literacy education. Dr. Muhammad's Historically Responsive Literacy Framework is essential for all students, especially youth of color, who have traditionally been marginalized by learning standards, school policies, and classroom practices. The framework promotes four learning goals-or pursuits:

• IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT Helping youth to make sense of themselves and others


• SKILL DEVELOPMENT Developing proficiencies across the academic disciplines


• INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT Gaining knowledge and learning to think deeply


• CRITICALITY Learning and developing the ability to read texts to understand power, equity, and anti-oppression

When these four learning pursuits are taught together through the Historically Responsive Literacy Framework, all students receive profound opportunities for personal, intellectual, and academic success. Muhammad provides probing, self-reflective questions for both teachers and students as well as culturally and historically responsive sample plans and text sets across grades and content areas. In this book, Muhammad presents practical approaches to cultivate the genius in students and teachers.
