In this follow-up to Cultivating Genius, Dr. Gholdy Muhammad adds a fifth pursuit-joy-to her groundbreaking instructional model. She defines joy as more than celebration and happiness, but also as wellness, beauty, healing, and justice for oneself and across humanity. She shows how teaching from cultural and historical realities can enhance our efforts to cultivate identity, skills, intellect, criticality, and-indeed-joy for all students, giving them a powerful purpose to learn and contribute to the world. Dr. Muhammad's wise implementation advice is paired with model lessons and assessment tools that span subjects and grade levels.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This read is now within my top three favorite texts about education! I recommend it for educators of all levels from all backgrounds. If you truly desire to unearth joy in the young minds we mold, this is a must-read! This book is insightful, inspiring, and ultimately causes one to be reflective! Any adult who is responsible for caring for a child as a parent, guardian, or educator should dive in. You will NOT regret it!

This book is a must read for anybody who works with children or teenagers. If you work in education or an education related field, this is a book that you must read as well. This book goes to show that being culturally responsive is not just putting up the names and pictures of the well-known black and other people of color that we know and love throughout history. It emphasizes the fact that we need to go beyond that until the story of ordinary people.

I like the message of this book but I don't like the reader. Her voice is too relaxing for me and I found myself getting distracted. I couldn't finish the book since it was disengaging because of the meditative voice.

This would be better read, not heard

This is revolutionizing how I think of and plan my curriculum. The theory and pedagogical philosophy is clear and approachable. I have ideas, questions, and texts I can turn around d and use tomorrow. 🎯💯

Dr. @GholdyM’s latest book, "Unearthing Joy," stresses the significance of placing joy at the center of education, which has the potential to awaken the genius within us & our students. A must read for anyone invested in centering joy and culturally relevant and affirming teaching.

The author selects poetry, art, music, children’s books and lessons from history to give a full picture of how we should include diversity in our worlds bc it’s beautiful, interesting, enriching, and better for ALL of us.

There are a number of historical inaccuracies in this book “the first enslaved Africans were violently forced to the United States in 1619,” (pg 44) the U.S. would not be founded for 168 years. This is one of a few I found. This is real unacceptable for an education book. The book talks about the importance of historical accuracy over and over but I am not sure she really wants accurate history. Is there good stuff you could take away sure but your better off spending your time reading something else.

Painful to read

Reads like a manifesto of the authors favorite music and poems. Full of example units plans and lessons. The framework is useful with examples but this can also be found online. There’s no research and very little actual writing that isn’t music playlists and lesson plans. Super
Glossy book I print that is a complete waste of time. There’s much better like “Choosing to See” on the topic.

No substance, all fluff
