Vada Gray's Journey To Responsiveness, Special Series I Teach Math and I AM CLR, Part 1 of 3..

Welcome to season 5, episode 2 and the start of a new series, I Teach X Content Area AND I am CLR. There are far too many instances of teachers saying, "I teach science or math or art or robotics or physical education, so I cannot do cultural and linguistic responsiveness (CLR)." This 3-part series will feature educators who debunk that thought. Each of them has made CLR a part of their daily instruction in their respective content areas. We start the series CLR math educator Vada Gray, a long time CLR educator going back over 20 years with Dr. Hollie. Listen in to learn how Vada's journey has always been about math and cultural and linguistic responsiveness from Oakland to Los Angeles and now in Chicago. Check out Dr. Hollie's two cents on why he thinks some educators use their content area as an excuse not to do or be CLR and how that excuse is super annoying.
