In Brilliant Teaching, you will come to understand that equity―when we view it from an informed, multi-layered, and artistic perspective―is the essential purpose of teaching. As education thought leader Dr. Adeyemi Stembridge argues, true equity does not need to defend or justify itself against detractors. Teaching for equity means creating student-centered opportunities that match the social, political, and economic context of the learning environment. Informed by both theory and extensive collaboration with K-12 teachers, Brilliant Teaching will help you develop a deep understanding of culture, one that you can leverage in order to be responsive to students.

Culturally Responsive Education in the Classroom helps educators translate the concept of equity into the context of pedagogy in the K-12 classroom.

Unpacking six themes to understand Culturally Responsive Education (CRE), this powerful book helps teachers incorporate equity into behaviors, environments, and meaningful learning opportunities. Culturally Responsive Education in the Classroom provides specific, practice-based examples to help readers develop a culturally responsive pedagogical mindset for closing equity gaps in student achievement.

“Teaching is an artmaking endeavor,” Yemi Stembridge writes, one that requires flexibility and creativity. But its purpose is equity, “the extent to which students are effectively prepared for social and economic opportunities beyond school.” It’s a brilliant framing of the task of the teacher, and one that Stembridge reminds us requires that we see each child as “irreducibly” individual. This meditation on how we can create the bridge between artistry and equity by careful attention to our learners as individuals is worth every teacher’s time.
