I thought the article "Preparing Culturally Responsive Teachers: Using Latino Children’s Literature in Teacher Education." was a very interesting read. It essentially claims that using books that pertain to ones culture helps the teacher make more connections with the students. Was this Allens suggestion? It sounds like it's right out of his roledex of beliefs! Obviously it is a good thing to do this, I just wonder what are they best ways to do this?
