I teach 7th grade reading at a school in the South Bronx. My class promotes a curriculum that values and affirms the experiences and cultural practices of our students, our families, and our community. Too often we misread the cultural gap as an achievement gap, and through my class I attempt to bridge that cultural gap by allowing students to be the experts, the ethnographers, the analysts, and the storytellers. I believe that curriculum that holds a social justice framework is more meaningful because it allows students to see that their education extends far beyond the confines of the classroom.
