Welcome

Welcome to the Culturally Responsive Pedagogy Toolkit!

This is a living document. If you have feedback or would like to contribute to this project, please don’t hesitate to reach out to emead2@pima.edu.

• Chapter One provides an overview and timeline of culturally responsive pedagogy
• Chapter Two guides you through the process of developing, implementing, and measuring learning goals for belonging and cultural engagement to support and enrich any course
• Chapter Three presents core approaches, strategies, and understandings of culturally responsive pedagogy, including teaching reflection
• Chapter Four offers course and curriculum design frameworks that support culturally responsive classrooms

There is no one way to approach, develop, and apply culturally responsive pedagogy. Nor is there a universalizing method that one can follow to achieve culturally responsive classrooms. Recognizing this, this Pressbook seeks to provide useful tools and simple, impactful activities for advancing a culturally responsive practice across the many elements of teaching and aspects of our classrooms.
