This module includes three units exploring the connections between adolescent development, the science of learning, and culturally responsive pedagogies. It is meant to make the case that K-12 teachers must not ignore the impact and value of culture as a dimension of development and factor in learning processes. The module culminates in an exploration of how the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework overlaps with principles of CRT (Culturally Relevant Teaching).

Rating
0.0 stars

This module has been created by Dr. Carly Johnson, Chair of the Department of Music at Alabama State University, to supplement commercial textbooks available for college-level conducting courses.  The culturally diverse images, musical scores, and videos featured in the module provide more inclusive content, representative of students from historically marginalized groups, and aid in deconstructing racial, ethnic, and gender biases often associated with the study of Western art music and with holding leadership positions in music.  The module begins with reflective questioning, identifying and examining equity barriers in Western art music, and ends with pathway resources for underrepresented students to pursue additional study beyond the conclusion of the course. Included in this module are several activities and assessments that can be used in a variety of ways, suitable for both in-person teaching or for synchronous or asynchronous online instruction.

According to Montenegro & Jankowski, 2017, culturally responsive assessment is an assessment that is mindful of the student populations the institution/school serves, using language that is appropriate for all students when developing learning outcomes, acknowledging students’ differences in the planning phases of an assessment, and being intentional in using assessment tools and results to improve learning for all students.  This module will provide explicit instructions to guide your thinking about the relationship between assessment and instruction.The goal of this course is to introduce K-12 Educators and Higher Education faculty to using standards and assessment alignment to support all types of learners.

Protocol for Analysis and Revision of Racist, Ableist Rubrics
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

This series of units will walk us through thinking organizers, reflective activities, and a protocol that could be used as a starting point for taking a deeper look at the ways in which our assessments of students may contain unconscious bias. Why Rubrics? This series focuses on classroom, rather than standardized, assessments. The pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning that are grounded in using rubrics tend to be simultaneously the most (potentially) engaging for students and most vulnerable to subjectivity in "scoring" by teachers. Since rubrics are most commonly utilized to score student products and performances, in contrast to multiple choice or fill-in assessments, there is a higher likelihood of cultural, linguistic, and ableist biases to be present in both the scoring instrument (rubric) and the scoring process.
