Episode 5

Stories are Powerful

In this Episode

Co-hosts Dr. Molly Buckley-Marudas and Dr. Shelley Rose talk with John Dutton and Andrese Howard from Cleveland Metropolitan School District who incorporate culturally responsive teaching into their teaching practice. Both educators share the methods that involve planning and implementation in their respective STEM and ELA subject areas by purposefully meeting students where they are. The guests also describe the impact of culturally responsive teaching, particularly involving storytelling, in their classrooms. Describing specific examples of lessons, our guests share tips for success that include creating meaningful rapport with students and for teachers to be kind to themselves – accepting that it might not be possible for lessons to incorporate the same level of inclusive practices each day. We are also excited about this episode’s Chalk n’ Roll responses! Tune in to find out the best places to visit in CLE!
