Unearthing Joy: A Guide to Culturally and Historically Responsive Teaching and Learning by Gholdy Muhammad

5.0

Muhammad includes sample lessons and exemplars for educators (classroom artists) working with children from PreK - 12th grade, in subjects such as math, ELA, and PE. Each chapter has a clear focus with a playlist and art (poetry, drawings) to inspire and ground the reader. I am glad I read Cultivating Genius first, as it goes more into the idea of historically responsive literacy, but Unearthing Joy is more effective for applying the HILL model with confidence. I would recommend this for teachers at all points in their careers, and for any subject.
