    Bank Street’s grounding beliefs

    Bank Street’s work is grounded in a set of core beliefs about teaching and learning. These are beliefs about the importance of relationships, taking a developmental approach, being strengths-based, maintaining equity-mindedness, focusing on the instructional core, and leveraging the power of observations, recording, and reflection.

    Although all of these beliefs influence the thinking routines we discuss in this article, equity-mindedness is particularly important. This belief is used as a lens to disrupt instructional, institutional, and sociohistorical patterns of exclusionary practices and racism to drive our work on behalf of students.
