Marks-Richardson This paper is a qualitative study on the influence of race and culture in the instructional planning within classrooms in a suburban school district. The study was designed using a focus group of teachers in grades 4-8 who demonstrated successful growth for African American students using value added measures on state assessments. The focus group members met to answer pre- determined research questions that tied to exploring the role of race and culture in the classroom. The group met regularly over a period of time and conducted discussions centered around activities to help generate reflective thinking on instructional pedagogy. The paper also presents limitations to the study and directions for future research.
