  1. 1. Cultivating Genius

    An Equity Framework for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy

    An equity-focused argument for reimagining literacy instruction so it cultivates — rather than contains — the intellectual brilliance of historically marginalized students, especially Black and Brown children. The book presents a research-informed framework that centers students’ identities, histories, languages, and communities, critiques deficit-based schooling, and offers classroom strategies, curriculum design principles, and assessment approaches that honor cultural knowledge and promote academic excellence, agency, and social justice.
