Culturally Responsive Practices: Let’s Spill the Tea

Culturally responsive teaching includes students’ cultures to help them relate, learn, and feel
they belong. You can empower students by building a curriculum on the knowledge and
understanding of students’ backgrounds and experiences. In this workshop, teachers develop
a deeper understanding of culturally responsive teaching and why it is important while
exploring examples of how it can be implemented.
