Thousands of educators nationally read bestselling books on culturally responsive teaching and participate in extensive training on the topic. Despite this, they still struggle to design culturally meaningful activities. Is this your experience? Have you read popular books and attended numerous training sessions yet still feel unsure about how to develop culturally responsive instructional strategies?

Educators encounter these challenges because many books and training sessions offer quick-tip technical solutions for teaching Black and Brown students. However, they often overlook the importance of designing culturally meaningful activities using practical tools. Furthermore, these resources typically lack models educators can follow and examples that illustrate culturally responsive activities.
