“…At the same time, in recognition of the value of teamwork, teachers have recently introduced cooperative learning activities in which students work together to produce a single product (e.g., Cohen, 1986;Johnson & Johnson, 1987;Slavin, 1991). In her argument for "culturally relevant" teaching for African-American children, Ladson-Billings (1994) has recently stressed the importance of cooperative learning and community building (see also Foster, 1992;Robinson & Ward, 1991). These two modes of teaching and learning -the privileging of individual work and the promotion of collective work -are frequently posed as polar opposites.…”

“…Based on the research literature related to language socialization and its relationship to student learning, investigations of culturally relevant teaching must attend to classroom interactions. Most descriptions of culturally relevant teaching, however, have stayed at the level of broad principles (Au & Raphael, 2000;Delpit, 1995;Foster, 1992;Ladson-Billings, 1995) rather than procedures (Jiménez & Gersten, 1999).
