Culturally Responsive Teaching: What Educators Need to Know

Culturally responsive teaching (CRT) is a research-based approach that makes meaningful connections between what students learn in school and their cultures, languages, and life experiences. Teachers can deepen student learning by providing rigorous instruction and developing higher-level academic skills by delivering personalized instruction that connects academic concepts to life experiences. In this course educators will learn what culturally responsive teaching is, explore the Racial Literacy Initiative, learn to recognize students’ cultural experiences, utilize a culturally responsive curriculum to increase engagement, select various CRT teaching strategies to incorporate within their classroom, and learn how to maintain culturally responsive teaching into their daily practices. This course is applicable to all educators, guidance counselors/social workers/psychologists, administrators, and any related service providers of all subjects, grades K-12.
