Fostering student learning and engagement can be challenging in any educational environment, and even more challenging when that environment welcomes students of diverse backgrounds (e.g., students of varied demographic, socio-economic, cultural, linguistic, age, and ability characteristics). This webinar will discuss the most effective principles of culturally responsive teaching based on the pillars of inclusive course climate and teaching, culturally relevant curriculum, assessment, classroom practices, and diversity and inclusion in the classroom by utilizing students’ unique backgrounds and contributions. Specific examples, models, and templates for culturally relevant curriculum and assessment will be presented.
