gender, this paper reviews literature on factors that impede reading achievement, provides a sociohistorical perspective for advancing African-American male literacy, proposes a framework of literacy
instruction, and discusses implications for research, policy, and practice.

http://www.studentsatthecenter.org/topics/latinoa-and-black-students-and-mathematics Using new
perspectives on mathematics as a cultural and social activity and new research on learning outside the
school, the authors ask readers to rethink the problem of mathematical achievement for all students, and
for Latino/a and black students in particular. The paper argues that doing so will help those students
connect how they learn in the classroom to their lives outside of school, and help reduce the “achievement
gaps” that exist in our current educational system.

http://www.studentsatthecenter.org/topics/curricular-opportunities-digital-age This paper explores how
new digital technologies can be used to design curricula that are flexible enough to adapt readily to
individual differences. The authors propose that universal design for learning—as the confluence of
advances in the neuroscience of human variability and in multimedia technologies—can create an “ecology
for learning” which provides rich, diverse, student-centered learning pathways for all students.

http://www.learner.org/courses/neuroscience/ Insights drawn from neuroscience not only provide
educators with a scientific basis for understanding some of the best practices in teaching, but also offer a
new lens through which to look at the problems teachers grapple with every day. By gaining insights into
how the brain works—and how students actually learn—teachers will be able to create their own solutions
to the classroom challenges they face and improve their practice.
