    Part 2: CRE Action Plan


    Fill out the action plan below. Be sure to use citations where appropriate.

    Please see the “how you will be graded” section on the next page.

    Which part of your curriculum will you reshape to incorporate more CRE practices?

    When developing the lessons, the mentor text options that are provided can be changed to culturally
    responsive texts that are vetted by our county. This would be a way to provide texts from authors of
    various cultural backgrounds and provide texts that explore different focuses that involve political, cultural
    or economic focuses (Green, 2023).

    Which CRE instructional approaches will you implement to cultivate learning for all?

    One of the instructional approaches that I would implement would be collaborative teaching. This would
    allow for the teachers with different cultural backgrounds to both bring their experiences to the teaching
    and planning involved. Collaborative teaching would also be an appropriate way for teachers to work on
    accommodating students with disabilities to ensure their access to the general education standards
    (Green, 2023).

    In what ways will you ensure your class/school environment is affirming of all students and their
    families?

    How will you get support and feedback about your process?

    What resources can you use to help novice teachers understand CRE?
