CEJ Launches Campaign for Culturally Responsive Education!

Saturday, March 25th marked the launch of CEJ’s Campaign for Culturally Responsive Education. Joined by passionate speakers, talented drummers and dancers, and allies from across the city, we marched from the site of New York’s historic First African Free School to the steps of the Department of Education to call for the implementation of Culturally Responsive Education in our children’s schools. Culturally Responsive Education (CRE) connects the academic curriculum to students’ personal experiences and perspectives; helps students build knowledge and pride in their culture, heritage and language; and develop students’ ability to communicate and connect across cultures.
