Hammond refers to her framework as the Ready for Rigor Framework. One such framework is created by Zaretta Hammond and expounded upon in her book, Culturally Responsive Teaching & the Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Among Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students (2015).
While far from all encompassing, a framework provides a structure for reference. When trying to understand such a broad topic as culturally responsive teaching, having a framework from which to work is often helpful.
