ABSTRACT

Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) is a transformative approach that aims to create an inclusive and equitable educational environment by integrating students’ cultural backgrounds into the teaching process. This paper explores the significance of CRT in fostering academic success among diverse student populations, particularly those from historically marginalized communities. It examines the key principles and strategies of CRT, including the importance of understanding cultural diversity, building cultural competence, creating inclusive learning environments, and implementing authentic assessment practices. By promoting equity and social justice in education, CRT empowers students to leverage their cultural identities as assets in their learning journey, thereby enhancing their academic outcomes and overall well-being.
