When assessing the cultural relevancy and competency of your classroom, we have provided a series of questions you may use to survey your students. With respect to developmental stages and the typical reading and writing skills of various age groups, we have divided our student interview questions into two categories to better serve youth - elementary/intermediate and middle/high school. Each set of questions asks the same general content, but is carefully phrased to suit the needs of that particular age group so they can better participate in the questionnaire and provide feedback on your culturally relevant practices.
