How to be a Culturally

Responsive Teacher

By: Chelsea North

Being a culturally responsive teacher does not mean you make pinatas on Cinco de Mayo, or each fried chick and purple soda for lunch during black history month.

Being a culturally responsive teacher does not alienate students because their culture is different than the rest.

All teachers have the chance and opportunity to create a beautiful salad bowl of cultures.

A place where all people are respected and feel appreciated because they are unique.

Be aware that all cultures have differences.

AND

That those differences are okay.

A culturally responsive teacher has tons of books that represent each of their children.

Underrepresented children feel inferior.

Involve parents and family members to teach about their culture.

This shows appreciation.
