Culturally

Responsive Pedagogy

Culturally Responsive Pedagogy is the act of

using a student-centered approach to

learning. It provides instructional
curriculum that is tailored to the unique

ways that students of different cultural
backgrounds learn and understand. The use

of culturally responsive pedagogy meets
students’ where they are as an individual

being and focused on using the student’s

cultural strength to shape their education.

The implication of the term culturally

responsive teaching is an instructional

method for teachers to step out of their
comfort zones and become a learner. Using

this form of teaching, educators will be
provided with the opportunity to be

immersed in various cultures and learn
about the traditions and customs.
