As part of Culturally Responsive Education, we emphasize the power of creating learning experiences for kids. We believe that through these experiences, students will be able to attach meaning to ideas beyond the classroom that will allow for authentic effective and cognitive engagement. Big ideas allow for students to create their own meaning that they can build on as a learner to help bridge their social, cultural and academic identities.
