Week Nine: Culturally Relevant Pedagogy

Culturally relevant pedagogy is something that I am very excited to incorporate into my classroom, especially because it is something I did not get to experience in school. Culturally relevant Pedagogy is acknowledging student individuality, while ensuring that they are all seen as equal. Students come from all different backgrounds and cultures, so in my classroom I will encourage students to share their cultural views, as well as their knowledge with the class, to enrich the conversation and learning. Culturally relevant pedagogy in my classroom will look like everyone sharing their ideas and understandings, and inclusion in every way. No student will ever feel invalidated or like an extra character. I want all of my students to feel heard, understood, and respected. The classroom will feel trusting, open, and a safe space for every student.
