Summit Learning Delivers Culturally Relevant & Sustaining Curriculum
States and districts are increasingly calling for ethnic and gender studies to be included in curriculum. To meet this demand, Summit Learning has teamed up with C3Teachers to create inquiries that centering on the stories, histories, and experiences of diverse communities. The educators we work with at Summit Learning and C3 Teachers are asking for more culturally relevant materials that represent the communities they serve. So, we are delivering critical inquiries here to lift up your classroom instruction!
Historically, many subjects and curricula don’t represent all students. Yet, researchers have found that when students can see themselves in lessons, they learn more. With the variance in cultural contexts across the country, how should programs approach building curriculum for different subjects and cultures?
We believe that inquiry is the answer. And we deliver inquiry learning experiences that focus on culturally relevant curriculum with an inclusive focus. Culture is not a thing that some people have and others do not. Appalachian, Latinx and women’s histories (for example) are equally valid, worthy of study for all students.
The inquiries available on this Summit Learning Hub will help you to elevate your teaching and to engage students with culturally relevant learning opportunities that align with your students’ needs. We think that you will find our inquiries engaging, relevant and enriching for your students.

ABOUT
Summit Learning Program
Summit Learning was created by educators for educators, and it incorporates decades of scientific research that hasn’t made its way into the majority of American classrooms. The strength of Summit Learning is our continuous work to combine the real-life experiences of teachers in thousands of classrooms across the country with the findings of nationally-acclaimed learning scientists. The result is an informed and dynamic classroom approach that stays engaging and relevant because of the teachers who help us to make adjustments that benefit all partner schools.
Teachers in nearly 400 schools have selected Summit Learning as part of the collection of tools and approaches needed to meet their vision for education. C3 Teachers is partnering with Summit Learning to develop a collection of 30 inquiries focused on ethnic and gender studies. Click on the Inquiries tab to learn more.

With hands-on projects and group learning, teachers show students how to apply lifelong skills — such as collaborating with a team, interpreting data and presenting persuasive arguments.
