Cultivating Genius: A Four-Layered Framework for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy

The four-layered framework— identity, skill development, intellectualism and criticality— is essential for all youth in classrooms, especially youth of color, who traditionally have been marginalized in learning standards, policies, and school practices. Readers will learn how to redesign their learning goals, lesson plans, and the texts they use to teach. The framework offers a unique and breakthrough blend of multiple pedagogical approaches including cognitive, sociocultural, and critical and sociohistorical theories.
