I’m definitely learning to do a better job with culturally responsive teaching than I may have five or 10 years ago. A lot of it comes from the books that I’m sharing, recommending, and reading aloud … I’m trying to make sure I have a more inclusive cast of characters, authors, and illustrators, making sure that my read- alouds and recommendations and lessons reflect everyone.
