She argues that the US educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color.

Story
In Cultivating Genius, Dr. Gholdy E. Muhammad presents a four-layered equity framework—one that is grounded in history and restores excellence in literacy education. This framework, which she names "Historically Responsive Literacy", was derived from the study of literacy development within 19th-century Black literacy societies. The framework is essential and universal for all students, especially youth of color, who traditionally have been marginalized in learning standards, school policies, and classroom practices.

Onward tackles the problem of educator stress, and provides a practical framework for taking the burnout out of teaching. Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far. Unsurprisingly, these effects are highest in difficult-to-fill positions such as math, science, and foreign languages, and in urban areas and secondary classrooms - places where we need our teachers to be especially motivated and engaged.

- Information on how one’s culture programs the brain to process data and affects learning relationships
- Ten "key moves" to build students’ learner operating systems and prepare them to become independent learners
- Prompts for action and valuable self-reflection

Fantastic book for teachers- pity about the charts
This book was such an eye-opener for me. I loved that Zaretta Hammond narrates it herself. I don't think I would have absorbed the information so well had another narrator been at the helm due to her clear authority on the subject. I especially appreciated all of the neurologic data included, which greatly helps me understand the sometimes unpredictable behavior of my underprivileged students. I even used her information about the amygdala as the basis for one of my first lessons on the first day of school, so they can start to recognize if it is being hijacked, and how to cope with it. Every time I was a little baffled at the information presented, Hammond clarifies with an anecdotal illustration. Overall the book makes the recent sociological and psychological data that is relevant to teachers accessible and digestible.
There were a lot of references to charts. I looked up the book and was sent to a website, but it wasn't clear if I could see the charts based on my purchase of the audiobook or if I would need to pay $150 for a special online course to become more culturally responsive. I must say I'm tempted to take the course, but I would have liked to have been able to see the data to whichHammond was referring.

I got the audio version of this book in hopes it might be a little easier to listen to than read but that was not the case. Somehow the reader made the audio version even more dry and boring than just reading the book myself.

Good information
This was a great book with very important information. What takes away from it is the constant mispronunciations of Latino names and even the misspelling of some of them on print. Being that this book is about cultural responsiveness I see this as a big fault on the part of the reader, author, and editors.
