LE 95: How to be a Culturally Responsive School Leader with Dr. Muhammad Khalifa

About Muhammad Khalifa, Ph.D.

Dr. Muhammad Khalifa is the Robert H. Beck Professor of Ideas in Education at the University of Minnesota. Formerly a school leader, he is now a leading expert on culturally responsive school leadership and anti-oppressive education. Through the newly established Culturally Responsive School leadership Institute, he helps school leaders work with communities to promote schools that look deeper than "achievement gaps," and more at the humanization of students in school. He has worked with heads of governments and schools in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East to reform education, but is most noted for his work in urban and suburban school districts across the U.S. He leads equity reform in schools by performing Equity Audits, and helps districts use equity audits to close gaps and promote the humanization of minoritized youth.

Cynthia has extensive experience homeschooling and interpreting in the classroom settings at primary, secondary, and post-secondary levels and is dedicated to providing ASL teaching resources to schools and families across the US. 

After years of working in the education system, Cynthia questioned where the resources for teaching sign language were.  She could find the ABCs and numbers 1-10, but teachers needed more than that for their students to be successful.

Cynthia decided to make it happen. ASL Teaching Resources was created as the answer.

All of the ASL resources available on Cynthia’s website were developed from years of experience in educational systems as a Nationally Certified ASL Interpreter.

Make sure that you check out all of the cool resources at her website ASLTeachingResources.com and don't forget to get your free flashcards while they are free. Just enter the code FREEFC at checkout.

In this fourth episode of The Summer Self-Care Series, teachers from The Burned-In Teacher Facebook Community Jennifer Werry, Jennifer Miller, and Kinsey Zellerhoff tell their stories of teacher burnout and how their triumph over it came down to this fact: You can’t take care of others, if you don’t take care of yourself first.

TnT 69 5 strategies for creating an engaging lesson

All teachers know that student engagement is essential for successfully teaching a lesson. Why? Because students don't necessarily want to learn and participate in school, and as a result, miss out on mastering important skills. When students are engaged, they switch on their natural curiosity and are self-motivated to learn, explore, and solve problems. But it's up to teachers to create optimal learning experiences to foster this passion for learning, which can at times be difficult to do. Here are five tried-and-true ways to create lessons that keep students engaged and hooked from the start to finish.

5 ways to create an engaging lesson or unit

• Give them an essential question/challenge
• Give student choice
• Connect the work to student interests
• Give them real-world scenarios - Make them demonstrate their learning rather than just completing a worksheet
• Showcase student work
