NASET’s Classroom Management Series


Culturally Responsive Teaching


By Kaira Wheeler

This issue of NASET’s Classroom Management series was written by Kaira Wheeler. Culturally responsive teaching refers to a style of teaching that takes into account a learner’s background, language, and world experience in order to create more valuable and relatable learning opportunities. Research has shown that culturally responsive teaching is effective in improving educational outcomes and creating life-long learners in the community. Teachers using this model encourage students to relate course content and standards to their own cultural context. This approach is necessary and important in an increasingly diverse public school population. There is also a clearly disproportionate amount of students of color inaccurately labeled as disabled. This paper will examine what culturally responsive teaching is, why it is important, as well as strategies for implementation. Recommendations for future steps and training will also be made.

Trivia Question of the Week


This Week's Trivia Question: 


According to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, there are a record number of students with disabilities in the nation’s schools. New data shows that there were 7.5 million children ages 3 to 21 served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) during the 2022-2023 school year. That’s a jump from 7.3 million the year prior and represents the highest number ever. Based on this information, students receiving special education account for what percentage of all students in schools (or put another way, what percentage of all students in schools in the United States receive special education services under IDEA)?


If you know the answer to this week's trivia questions, email it to us at contactus@naset.org by July 16th, 2024. If you are correct, you will be acknowledged in next week's NASET's Week in Review
