By: Gholdy Muhammad

Narrated by: Melaine Morgan

In this follow-up to Cultivating Genius, Dr. Gholdy Muhammad adds a fifth pursuit-joy-to her groundbreaking instructional model. She defines joy as more than celebration and happiness, but also as wellness, beauty, healing, and justice for oneself and across humanity. She shows how teaching from cultural and historical realities can enhance our efforts to cultivate identity, skills, intellect, criticality, and-indeed-joy for all students, giving them a powerful purpose to learn and contribute to the world. Dr. Muhammad's wise implementation advice is paired with model lessons and assessment tools that span subjects and grade levels.

should be use in all school districts

love it all. I consider it to be a complete book! good to teach administrators, teachers, students... everyone in the education field.

EVERYTHING I NEEDED AND MORE!!!

This read is now within my top three favorite texts about education! I recommend it for educators of all levels from all backgrounds. If you truly desire to unearth joy in the young minds we mold, this is a must-read! This book is insightful, inspiring, and ultimately causes one to be reflective! Any adult who is responsible for caring for a child as a parent, guardian, or educator should dive in. You will NOT regret it!

Educated an educator

This book was packed with knowledge that will assist an educator on their journey to being the type of educator and person our kids deserve.

If you care about education and teaching

This book is a must read for anybody who works with children or teenagers. If you work in education or an education related field, this is a book that you must read as well. This book goes to show that being culturally responsive is not just putting up the names and pictures of the well-known black and other people of color that we know and love throughout history. It emphasizes the fact that we need to go beyond that until the story of ordinary people.

This would be better read, not heard

I like the message of this book but I don't like the reader. Her voice is too relaxing for me and I found myself getting distracted. I couldn't finish the book since it was disengaging because of the meditative voice.
