I'm going to steal a list posted by Albert Byers in another thread back in December ...
Look across the 5 C's of culturally relevant/critical Reality Pedagogy:
-
Cogenerative Dialogs (discourse structured to emulate way many urban youth communicate-cipher)
-
Co-teaching (role reversal, student plans lesson, ensures relevancy, teacher observe, student empowerment/identity)
-
Cosmopolitianism (transforms classroom roles (responsibilities for each other and value of differences), greeter, equip distributor, tech manager, even comedian (comic relief).
-
Context (bringing in culturally relevant artifacts into the classroom as an anchor to lifeworlds outside the classroom for urban students, e.g., weathering-using images of worn street signs, storefronts, graffiti art)
-
Content (related to academic science content), teachers' willingness to expose and embrace limitations in content knowledge in the classroom, student/teacher explore content together. Reframing that knowledge is infinite, ripe for interrogation. The reframing of who is a content expert could highlight science-informed professions not traditionally viewed as scientific (music engineers, graffiti artists).
