Synopsis

Culture refers to the beliefs, practices, values, accomplishments and languages of a group of individuals. Culturally responsive teaching (CRT) entails the utilization of characteristics, customs, opinions and experiences of students as instruments for better classroom learning. CRT takes into account the cultural backgrounds along with lived experiences of students in order to assist them in learning. It is a method that emphasizes on the inclusion of students[ cultural references into all elements of the learning process. Some of the important components of CRT include culturally appropriate curricula, awareness for varied communication styles, a strong knowledge base concerning cultural diversity, and the utilization of multicultural instructional examples. Culturally responsive practices may have significant advantages such as the promotion of inclusivity and equity in the classroom, improved engagement with the course material, strengthened sense of identity and promotion of critical thinking in the students. This book outlines the processes and applications of culturally responsive teaching and learning in detail. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
