Creating environments that value and celebrate diversity
Culturally responsive teaching allows:
for the creation of equitable classrooms
students to feel validated, respected and a sense of belonging
students to see themselves in their curriculum and school community
for all members of a classroom and school community to feel safe
DIVE INTO THE POOL...
"In order to reach those students who are not good swimmers or non-swimmers, you are going to have to jump in the pool with them and not stand on the side of the pool. Cultural and Linguistic Responsiveness (CLR) is metaphorically diving into the pool and getting into the water with your students; you are meeting your students where they are culturally and linguistically."
