☐ I plan to demonstrate cultural responsiveness through explication of my unit plan, in the template below.

☐ I plan to demonstrate cultural responsiveness through explication of a lesson plan, which I have pasted below.

Vision Setting: As you begin to write your unit plan (or lesson plan), what are you hoping to achieve, in terms of culturally responsive teaching? What ideas are sticking with you to make instruction more culturally responsive? What do you hope your students will experience?

Final Reflection: Designing Culturally Responsive Curriculum

Reference any relevant scholarship that supports your decision. Within your unit plan, annotate to indicate specific examples.

2. Reflection: How has your perspective on instructional planning grown or changed as a result of learning about frameworks(s) for culturally responsive teaching? How do you know?

3. Plans for Future: What are some next steps you plan to take to continue your growth as a culturally responsive teacher?
