In Hacking Culturally Inclusive Learning, you'll discover how to:
¿ View students' languages and cultures as a learning resource
¿ Shift away from only using Standard English assessments
¿ Integrate culturally relevant and sustaining materials
¿ Connect learning to students' lived experiences
¿ Create an honest, authentic learning environment
