Creating   an Evaluation Instrument for Cultural Relevance in the Classroom

 In this discussion, you will apply your knowledge of culturally relevant pedagogy to examine the degree to which a specific place-based experience implements culturally relevant strategies. Please review this week’s Instructor Guidance for detailed assistance on preparing for and completing this discussion. 

Initial Post: For this post, you will complete a rubric to determine the degree to which an instructional experience incorporates culturally relevant pedagogical principles. Based on your knowledge about culturally relevant teaching, you will add two more criteria to the rubric below and then use it to evaluate one of the place-based lesson “stories” shared on the PromiseofPlace.org. Then, using the rubric with your results from your evaluation, summarize how well you think your selected place-based experience addresses cultural relevance.
 

You can copy the rubric into a word document, complete the rubric, and then paste into the discussion forum along with your summary.
