Film School NYFA – A Girl Like Me
This video was created by a young college student from New York Film Academy who re-conducts Dr. Clark’s doll test .  After watching this video it caused me to examine my own fifth grade students and their underlying notions of race and stereotypes, especially in their drawings.

Becoming a Culturally Responsive Teacher Opportunities to Learn: Lisa Delpit
This  video discusses a course by Gary Howard on becoming a culturally responsive teacher; the course is based on the work of Lisa Delpit’s work and writings.

 

Introduction to Culturally Relevant Pedagogy:
In Delpit’s writings she calls for educators to take the children as they are and create educational experiences which they can connect to personally.  This video narrated by Jacqueline Irvine from Emory University addresses the concept of the culturally relevant pedagogy and what it means to teachers in the classroom. That educators are called to be “cultural translators” which make appropriate linkages between the students and what they need to know and understand.
