“With the help of a previous SEL Award, UCCS recently engaged Dr. Gholdy Muhammad, author of Cultivating Genius: An Equity Framework for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy to create a more culturally-responsive learning environment at UCCS. We seek to build a school culture where all students are seen, valued, and empowered to use their own cultural characteristics, experiences, and perspectives for academic success.”
