“Be prepared to be embraced with words, images, stories, examples, experiences, and a love for teaching in community with young people toward social and cultural justice.”―Django Paris
As middle and high school teachers, we know that students begin to develop racial identities and ideologies as early as preschool. By the time they reach us, there is much socializing and learning that needs to be undone. Textured Teaching is a way to seamlessly embed the social justice work that is needed to undo; to begin to make things right.
With Culturally Sustaining Practice as its foundation, Textured Teaching helps secondary teachers in any school setting stop wondering and guessing how to implement teaching and learning that leads to social justice. Lorena shares her framework for creating a classroom environment that is highly rigorous and engaging, and that reflects the core traits of Textured Teaching: student-driven, community centered, interdisciplinary, experiential, and flexible. Throughout the book, Lorena shares lesson design strategies that build traditional literacy skills while supporting students in developing their social justice skills at the same time. The actionable strategies Lorena uses to bring Textured Teaching values to life illuminate what is possible when we welcome all types of texts, all types of voices, and all forms of expression into the classroom.

What is the importance of social justice?
Germanâs book, Textured Teaching, a Framework for Culturally Sustaining Practices, is a breath of fresh air for beginning teachers struggling to implement social justice into their classrooms as well as seasoned teachers trying to make their curriculum more inclusive.
It clearly defines social justice and the benefits of engaging all students equally in their own education. This book can also be a
guide for the teacher to engage administrators in social justice discussions.

Much needed shifts in thinking
I can’t think of a more important time for Lorena Germán’s Textured Teaching than right now. Lorena has crafted a thoughtful framework that will support the culturally sustaining practices that are sorely needed in our schools. Her honesty and wise suggestions will help educators to initiate this change process and is sure to elevate conversation, collaboration and collective responsibility. I highly recommend Textured Teaching!

Not bad. Good ideas but felt repetitive.
I had to get this book for a social justice class. The class is part of the curriculum for my masters in education. There are some good points in this book but some stuff sounded like it was just being repeated. I honestly would have enjoyed it more if I had a better professor.

Purchased for grad classes
Good book and I like the journaling breaks it takes to reflect on the readings.
