See Your Lessons Differently
The Three Lenses Framework
You have the perfect lesson planned: design a robot to clean up the leaves in your back yard. You present the task, students dive in and then one student looks up at you and says:
“Well, what if I don’t have a back yard?”
It’s a small moment that reveals a big problem. No amount of “adding diversity” fixes a lesson that wasn't built with students’ lives in mind from the start. My doctoral research confirmed it: culturally relevant elements pasted onto existing curriculum don't work and can actually make things worse.
The 3 Lenses Framework gives you a better way.
Three integrated perspectives(Relationships, Identity, and Agency) that you apply to lessons you’re already teaching. Not a checklist. Not a curriculum overhaul. A new way of seeing your practice that changes what you notice, what you ask, and what becomes possible for every student.
