Gloria Ladson-Billings Three Culturally Responsive Principles for Teaching

1. Students must experience academic success, which leads to a stronger self-esteem. Esteem is built on solid academic accomplishment; students feel good about themselves when there is real academic progress 2. Students should develop and maintain cultural competence, and the student's home culture is an opportunity for learning; when teachers move beyond their classroom and integrate learning with the local community, they can create a more positive, mutually supportive academic environment 3. Students must develop critical consciousness and actively challenge social injustice; teacher works to improve the quality of life in the school and community

Classroom Organization Principles

1. Teaching Eye-to-Eye: Teachers should be able to see all students at all times 2. Teaching Materials and Supplies should be readily available 3. High-traffic Areas should be Free of Congestion 4. Procedures and Routines should be actively taught in the same way that academic content is taught: Initial planning for class management is often rewarded with fewer discipline problems and smooth transitions

Nondiscriminatory Education: Based on due process rights of Constitution, mandates that children with disabilities be fairly assessed so that they can be protected from inappropriate classification and tracking 4. Least-Restrictive Environment: Protects children with disabilities from being inappropriately segregated. Mainstreaming referred to placing special needs students in regular classroom settings for at least part of the day- now known as inclusion: reflects even stronger commitment to educate each student in a least-restrictive environment to the maximum degree possible 5. Procedural Due Process: The right of students with disabilities to protest a school's decisions about their education 6. Individualized Education Program (IEP): Each IEP must be reviewed and revised annually, ensuring that the educational goals designed for a child align with his or her learning needs and that these plans are actually delivered
