Culturally responsive teaching is an approach to education that recognizes and values students' cultural backgrounds and uses them as a foundation for learning. It involves creating a classroom environment where students feel seen, heard, and respected, and where their cultural strengths and experiences are incorporated into the curriculum. This approach aims to promote student achievement and well-being by fostering a sense of belonging and relevance in the learning process.
