In the ever-evolving landscape of education, Pursuing Practical Change: Lesson Designs that Promote Culturally Responsive Teaching stands out as a beacon of insight and practical guidance. The chapters are dedicated to a specific content area, ensuring that teachers across disciplines can seamlessly integrate CRT into their pedagogy and the inclusion of example lesson plans provides a tangible bridge between theory and practice. The book not only highlights successes but bravely delves into moments of reflection, creating an authentic and enriching resource for educators. --Sara Gil, senior director, Human Resources, Modesto City Schools Students are the heart of education and Pursuing Practical Change: Lesson Designs That Promote Culturally Responsive Teaching puts them front and center while being an amazing resource for all secondary teachers! It reminds us that the very foundation of culturally responsive teaching is caring for every student, treating them with firmness and respect, and maintaining high expectations for all, so we can best serve the entire student. Most importantly, every chapter reminds us that equitable, inclusive teaching truly involves listening to students - their opinions and feelings - and ensuring they know we care. The more educators involve their students in decisions, provide choices, and design critical thinking opportunities, the more likely students are to engage in school. This book supports educators on their journeys to become culturally responsive educators with chapter learning outcomes, lesson plans for many subject areas, and stories from real teachers. --Denise Duewell, M.Ed., Coordinator of PD & Induction, Turlock Unified School District
