Bullying and harassment in schools often includes violations of federally protected civil rights.

It may take the form of direct, overt... - 1/24/09 - Heraldo Richards, Ayanna Brown, Timothy Forde, Equity Alliance at ASU

"In 2000, Professor Geneva Gay wrote that culturally responsive teaching connects students’ cultural knowledge, prior experiences, and performance styles to academic knowledge and intellectual tools in ways that legitimize what students already know.
