In this session, Dr. Caleb González will discuss the meaning of culturally sustaining pedagogical (CSP) frameworks in the design of writing prompts and write to learn and engage assignments. CSP is defined as “centering and sustaining the cultural and linguistic identities, experiences, and ways of knowing of students” (Django Paris and H. Samy Alim, 2019).
By deepening our knowledge of what it means to lean into students’ funds of knowledge and engage them through writing, this session examines stepping into spaces of write-to-learn and write-to-engage design in ways that draw upon the assets that students bring to the disciplines.
Presenter: Dr. Caleb González, PhD (Assistant Teaching Professor, University of Santa Clara)
