Brilliant Teaching: How to do equity
- - Humans have to learn how to be human, and culture is the total of information that lives in minds and affects decision-making and behaviour while providing the social norms/guidelines that govern human interactions.
- - There is no such thing as a culturally neutral learning environment. All learning is social. All learning is cultural.
- - There is an artistic sensibility that is essential for the design of a culturally, responsive, learning experience.

Session Description
Where brilliant art is created with paint or cameras or through storytelling or performance, brilliant teaching is created on the canvas of experience. Whether it be physical, emotional or cerebral, it is through the compelling medium of experience that understandings are forged and culture plays a featured role in the human experience. In my vocabulary of effective teaching, I prefer the term brilliance over mastery because brilliance, in my view, is indicative of a more artful, dynamic and ongoing process to build one’s capacity to engage students in rigorous thinking that leverages cultural fluencies in the interest of deep learning.
