Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Teaching and Learning

Promote a culturally and linguistically responsive learning environment that validates and affirms students' diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds through a shift in mindset and a change in skillset.

Culturally and linguistically responsive teaching acknowledges, responds to, and celebrates students from different cultural backgrounds and provides equitable access to learning for all students. Educators will feel empowered, excited, and confident to implement this framework because it embraces and places value on students' culture and language, allowing them to thrive in the classroom.
