About

This ED477 Readings and Themes mind map template synthesizes 29 nodes across major works on Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP), including 'Multiplication is For White People', 'White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack', and 'The Case for Culturally Relevant Pedagogy'. It explores key concepts such as the three CRP pillars—'a.) students must experience academic success', 'b.) students must develop and maintain cultural competence', and 'c.) students must develop a critical consciousness'—alongside theoretical frameworks like 'i+1' (Vygotsky and Krashen) and 'Biopsychosocial' dimensions. The template also covers practical teaching dimensions: 'Planning', 'Teaching', 'Assessing', and student-centered factors like 'Sociocultural', 'Linguistic', 'Cognitive', and 'Academic' influences. Designed for educators, student teachers, and researchers, this ED477 readings cheat sheet provides a structured overview of how race, class, gender, and privilege intersect in education, making it an essential study aid for culturally responsive pedagogy courses.
