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.

Story
Kids walk into schools full of wonder and questions. How you, as an educator, respond to students' natural curiosity can help further their own exploration and shape the way they learn today and in the future. The traditional system of education requires students to hold their questions and compliantly stick to the scheduled curriculum. But our job as educators is to provide new and better opportunities for our students. It's time to recognize that compliance doesn't foster innovation, encourage critical thinking, or inspire creativity.

some good ideas, but..
Paul has some good ideas for the everyday classroom. This is an account of a Male American teacher who is applying his interpretation of 21st century lessons to his teaching. His ideas are flawed in so many ways, but are great in others. I really struggled to listen to it all, as it just went on and on and on. I could write all the ideas presented in a two page blog, easily. I won't recommend this book to anyone, but there are parts that were good. I simply dont understand what so many were raving about. There are far better roads in education. Dweck, Deci and Ryan, Tomlinson, just to name a few. the biggest critique I have is Paul's complete lack of research. His ideas are dangerous, loose and not well stated, at best. Yes..give students control...very little differentiation happening on his classroom and no account whatsoever for struggling, gifted or culturally diverse learners. His lack of knowledge on Bloom's ideas are an indictment on a poorly researched book. The people who do recommend this book obviously know little and havent read widely, especially on the topic of individualized and inclusive instruction.

decent content, annoying reader
great ideas that will get you thinking, but lots of techniques seem limited to primary school level classrooms where they have the same class all day everyday and time to burn on the niceties. definitely gets you thinking in the right vein though.
sometimes it's confusing when the reader is reading a quote, instructions from the author, feedback from students/parents, or a question to the reader. poor narration by a voice that gets annoying fast and limits inflection. not ideal for a book meant to motivate and inspire teachers. I often tuned out in parts where he droned on, and didn't look forward to finishing the book like I usually do. (also his pronunciation of the word "idea/s" was infuriating haha). you could really tell when the reader was turning pages as there's audible gaps, only something minor but it all adds up to a poor listening experience.
maybe a book better bought and read physically? some good "ideas" in there for sure, but don't expect to come out with explicit tactics, activities or approaches.
