Culturally responsive teaching

This book, now in its third edition, defines culturally responsive teaching as 'using the cultural characteristics, experiences, and perspectives of ethnically diverse students as conduits for teaching them more effectively.

' It outlines six key practices of culturally responsive teaching, including having high expectations for all students, engaging students' cultural knowledges and experiences, bridging gaps between home and school practices, and critically questioning normative schooling practices.

The book provides extensive research and practical strategies for implementing culturally responsive pedagogy, aiming to increase student engagement and academic success by aligning educational practices with students' cultural backgrounds.
