What is Culturally Responsive Teaching?

Culturally responsive teaching is an educational approach that recognizes the importance of integrating students' cultural backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives into the learning process. It acknowledges that students come from diverse cultural backgrounds and that their cultural identities influence how they learn and engage with our content.

A culturally responsive educator strives to become self-aware of their own biases, reflects deeply on what they know and don’t know about their learners, and engages in the practice of cultural humility.
