Abstract

This chapter responds to Comber’s call for documented narratives of enabling pedagogies used by educators working in low SES communities. It provides examples of what is possible when educators work within a socio-cultural approach to develop relationships with families and communities and acknowledge families’ ‘funds of knowledge’ (Moll et al, 1992) and draw on these in the classroom to reinforce and validate children’s ‘funds of identity’ (Esteban-Guitart & Moll, 2014) and extend their learning.
