More Than Just a Motto

http://elschools.org/best-practices/more-just-motto-nobody-eats-alone-harborside

The Harborside Academy motto, "Nobody eats alone at Harborside", has evolved over time and has taken on a whole new meaning--"Nobody should be left alone to solve any problem". This reflects culturally responsive teaching because it is all-inclusive, regardless of intelligence level or cultural background. It encourages students to get to know, listen to, and appreciate each other. It also does a great job of meshing who the students are becoming in both their personal and academic life.

  1. Good connections between culturally responsive teaching and constructivist approaches to teaching.
