From Home to Classroom: Integrating Students’ Funds of Knowledge

Season 13 · Episode 6

Monday, September 9, 2024 • Duration 14:11

In today's episode, we dive into an excerpt from the audiobook, Literacy's Democratic Roots by Tom Newkirk, which focuses on the powerful concept of funds of knowledge. This term coined by Luis Moll and his colleagues refers to the rich, culturally developed bodies of knowledge and skills that students bring from their home and communities. Through this body of research, Tom explores practical ways to integrate these funds of knowledge into your curriculum. You'll hear about real-life examples, such as how a sixth-grader's candy-selling experience was used to teach scientific concepts and nutritional values. These insights will inspire you to view your students' backgrounds as valuable assets that can enrich classroom learning.
