College of Education Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading

Speaking Series Videos

The Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Speaking Series Videos are short clips from scholars and educators who share information and guidance on the “why” and “how” behind culturally responsive practices. We have titled them “Two Things” to indicate the speakers' expertise on what they consider to be culturally responsive teaching and leading, along with examples of how we can implement culturally responsive teaching and leading in our schools that align with the standards in Illinois.
